我如何知道是否在Bash中设置了变量?

例如,如何检查用户是否向函数提供了第一个参数?

function a {
    # if $1 is set ?
}

当前回答

在shell中,可以使用-z运算符,如果字符串长度为零,则该运算符为True。

如果未设置默认MY_VAR,则使用一个简单的单行设置,否则您可以选择显示消息:

[[ -z "$MY_VAR" ]] && MY_VAR="default"
[[ -z "$MY_VAR" ]] && MY_VAR="default" || echo "Variable already set."

以下是如何测试参数是否未设置、是否为空(“Null”)或是否设置了值:

+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|   Expression       |       parameter      |     parameter   |    parameter    |
|   in script:       |   Set and Not Null   |   Set But Null  |      Unset      |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| ${parameter:-word} | substitute parameter | substitute word | substitute word |
| ${parameter-word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | substitute word |
| ${parameter:=word} | substitute parameter | assign word     | assign word     |
| ${parameter=word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | assign word     |
| ${parameter:?word} | substitute parameter | error, exit     | error, exit     |
| ${parameter?word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | error, exit     |
| ${parameter:+word} | substitute word      | substitute null | substitute null |
| ${parameter+word}  | substitute word      | substitute word | substitute null |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+

来源:POSIX:参数扩展:

在所有显示为“替换”的情况下,表达式将替换为显示的值。在所有显示为“assign”的情况下,参数都被指定该值,该值也会替换表达式。

要在操作中显示此内容,请执行以下操作:

+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|   Expression       |  When FOO="world"    |  When FOO=""    |    unset FOO    |
|   in script:       |  (Set and Not Null)  |  (Set But Null) |     (Unset)     |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| ${FOO:-hello}      | world                | hello           | hello           |
| ${FOO-hello}       | world                | ""              | hello           |
| ${FOO:=hello}      | world                | FOO=hello       | FOO=hello       |
| ${FOO=hello}       | world                | ""              | FOO=hello       |
| ${FOO:?hello}      | world                | error, exit     | error, exit     |
| ${FOO?hello}       | world                | ""              | error, exit     |
| ${FOO:+hello}      | hello                | ""              | ""              |
| ${FOO+hello}       | hello                | hello           | ""              |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+

虽然这里所述的大多数技术都是正确的,但Bash 4.2支持对变量的存在进行实际测试(man-Bash),而不是测试变量的值。

[[ -v foo ]]; echo $?
# 1

foo=bar
[[ -v foo ]]; echo $?
# 0

foo=""
[[ -v foo ]]; echo $?
# 0

值得注意的是,与许多其他方法(如使用[-z)不同,这种方法在set-u/set-o nounset模式下用于检查未设置的变量时不会导致错误。

要检查是否设置了变量,请执行以下操作:

var=""; [[ $var ]] && echo "set" || echo "not set"

当启用Bash选项集-u时,上面的答案不起作用。此外,它们不是动态的,例如,如何测试是否定义了名为“dummy”的变量?试试看:

is_var_defined()
{
    if [ $# -ne 1 ]
    then
        echo "Expected exactly one argument: variable name as string, e.g., 'my_var'"
        exit 1
    fi
    # Tricky.  Since Bash option 'set -u' may be enabled, we cannot directly test if a variable
    # is defined with this construct: [ ! -z "$var" ].  Instead, we must use default value
    # substitution with this construct: [ ! -z "${var:-}" ].  Normally, a default value follows the
    # operator ':-', but here we leave it blank for empty (null) string.  Finally, we need to
    # substitute the text from $1 as 'var'.  This is not allowed directly in Bash with this
    # construct: [ ! -z "${$1:-}" ].  We need to use indirection with eval operator.
    # Example: $1="var"
    # Expansion for eval operator: "[ ! -z \${$1:-} ]" -> "[ ! -z \${var:-} ]"
    # Code  execute: [ ! -z ${var:-} ]
    eval "[ ! -z \${$1:-} ]"
    return $?  # Pedantic.
}

如果你想检查$@中的任何内容,我找到了一个更好的代码。

if [[ $1 = "" ]]
then
  echo '$1 is blank'
else
  echo '$1 is filled up'
fi

为什么会这样?$@中的所有内容都存在于Bash中,但默认情况下为空,因此test-z和test-n无法帮助您。

更新:您还可以计算参数中的字符数。

if [ ${#1} = 0 ]
then
  echo '$1 is blank'
else
  echo '$1 is filled up'
fi
