这对我来说很管用:

# traditional system call return values-- used in an `if`, this will be true when returning 0. Very Odd.
contains () {
    # odd syntax here for passing array parameters: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8082947/how-to-pass-an-array-to-a-bash-function
    local list=$1[@]
    local elem=$2

    # echo "list" ${!list}
    # echo "elem" $elem

    for i in "${!list}"
    do
        # echo "Checking to see if" "$i" "is the same as" "${elem}"
        if [ "$i" == "${elem}" ] ; then
            # echo "$i" "was the same as" "${elem}"
            return 0
        fi
    done

    # echo "Could not find element"
    return 1
}

示例调用:

arr=("abc" "xyz" "123")
if contains arr "abcx"; then
    echo "Yes"
else
    echo "No"
fi

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。

我的版本的正则表达式技术，已经建议:

values=(foo bar)
requestedValue=bar

requestedValue=${requestedValue##[[:space:]]}
requestedValue=${requestedValue%%[[:space:]]}
[[ "${values[@]/#/X-}" =~ "X-${requestedValue}" ]] || echo "Unsupported value"

What's happening here is that you're expanding the entire array of supported values into words and prepending a specific string, "X-" in this case, to each of them, and doing the same to the requested value. If this one is indeed contained in the array, then the resulting string will at most match one of the resulting tokens, or none at all in the contrary. In the latter case the || operator triggers and you know you're dealing with an unsupported value. Prior to all of that the requested value is stripped of all leading and trailing whitespace through standard shell string manipulation.

我相信它是干净而优雅的，尽管如果支持的值数组特别大，我不太确定它的性能如何。

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

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
}

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"
