保持简单:

Array1=( "item1" "item2" "item3" "item-4" )
var="item3"

count=$(echo ${Array1[@]} | tr ' ' '\n' | awk '$1 == "'"$var"'"{print $0}' | wc -l)
[ $count -eq 0 ] && echo "Not found" || echo "found"

这种方法的优点是不需要遍历所有元素(至少不是显式地)。但是由于array.c中的array_to_string_internal()仍然循环遍历数组元素并将它们连接到一个字符串中，因此它可能并不比所提出的循环解决方案更有效，但它更具可读性。

if [[ " ${array[*]} " =~ " ${value} " ]]; then
    # whatever you want to do when array contains value
fi

if [[ ! " ${array[*]} " =~ " ${value} " ]]; then
    # whatever you want to do when array doesn't contain value
fi

请注意，如果您正在搜索的值是带有空格的数组元素中的某个单词，则会给出假阳性。例如

array=("Jack Brown")
value="Jack"

正则表达式将“Jack”视为在数组中，即使它不在数组中。所以你必须改变IFS和正则表达式上的分隔符如果你仍然想使用这个解决方案，就像这样

IFS="|"
array=("Jack Brown${IFS}Jack Smith")
value="Jack"

if [[ "${IFS}${array[*]}${IFS}" =~ "${IFS}${value}${IFS}" ]]; then
    echo "true"
else
    echo "false"
fi

unset IFS # or set back to original IFS if previously set

这将打印“false”。

显然，这也可以用作测试语句，允许将其表示为一行程序

[[ " ${array[*]} " =~ " ${value} " ]] && echo "true" || echo "false"

扩展上面来自Sean DiSanti的答案，我认为下面是一个简单而优雅的解决方案，它避免了对数组进行循环，并且不会由于部分匹配而给出假阳性

function is_in_array {
    local ELEMENT="${1}"
    local DELIM=","
    printf "${DELIM}%s${DELIM}" "${@:2}" | grep -q "${DELIM}${ELEMENT}${DELIM}"
}

可以这样称呼:

$ haystack=("needle1" "needle2" "aneedle" "spaced needle")
$ is_in_array "needle" "${haystack[@]}"
$ echo $?
1
$ is_in_array "needle1" "${haystack[@]}"
$ echo $?
0

结合Beorn Harris和loentar的回答，我们得出了一个更有趣的单行测试:

delim=$'\x1F' # define a control code to be used as more or less reliable delimiter
if [[ "${delim}${array[@]}${delim}" =~ "${delim}a string to test${delim}" ]]; then
    echo "contains 'a string to test'"
fi

它不使用额外的函数，不替换测试，并添加了额外的保护，防止使用控制代码作为分隔符偶尔出现错误匹配。

虽然这里有几个很好的和有用的答案，但我没有找到一个似乎是性能、跨平台和健壮性的正确组合;所以我想分享一下我为我的代码编写的解决方案:

#!/bin/bash

# array_contains "$needle" "${haystack[@]}"
#
# Returns 0 if an item ($1) is contained in an array ($@).
#
# Developer note:
#    The use of a delimiter here leaves something to be desired. The ideal
#    method seems to be to use `grep` with --line-regexp and --null-data, but
#    Mac/BSD grep doesn't support --line-regexp.
function array_contains()
{
    # Extract and remove the needle from $@.
    local needle="$1"
    shift

    # Separates strings in the array for matching. Must be extremely-unlikely
    # to appear in the input array or the needle.
    local delimiter='#!-\8/-!#'

    # Create a string with containing every (delimited) element in the array,
    # and search it for the needle with grep in fixed-string mode.
    if printf "${delimiter}%s${delimiter}" "$@" | \
        grep --fixed-strings --quiet "${delimiter}${needle}${delimiter}"; then
        return 0
    fi

    return 1
}

使用grep和printf

在新行上格式化每个数组成员，然后grep这些行。

if printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}" | grep -x -q "search string"; then echo true; else echo false; fi

$ array=("word", "two words")
$ if printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}" | grep -x -q "two words"; then echo true; else echo false; fi
true

注意，这对delimeter和空格没有问题。
