在Bash中,测试数组是否包含某个值的最简单方法是什么?


当前回答

回答完之后,我读到了另一个我特别喜欢的答案,但它有缺陷,遭到了不好评。我受到了启发,这里有两种可行的新方法。

array=("word" "two words") # let's look for "two words"

使用grep和printf:

(printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}" | grep -x -q "two words") && <run_your_if_found_command_here>

使用:

(for e in "${array[@]}"; do [[ "$e" == "two words" ]] && exit 0; done; exit 1) && <run_your_if_found_command_here>

对于not_found结果,添加|| <run_your_if_notfound_command_here>

The answer with most votes is very concise and clean, but it can have false positives when a space is part of one of the array elements. This can be overcome when changing IFS and using "${array[*]}" instead of "${array[@]}". The method is identical, but it looks less clean. By using "${array[*]}", we print all elements of $array, separated by the first character in IFS. So by choosing a correct IFS, you can overcome this particular issue. In this particular case, we decide to set IFS to an uncommon character $'\001' which stands for Start of Heading (SOH)

$ array=("foo bar" "baz" "qux")
$ IFS=$'\001'
$ [[ "$IFS${array[*]}$IFS" =~ "${IFS}foo${IFS}" ]] && echo yes || echo no
no
$ [[ "$IFS${array[*]}$IFS" =~ "${IFS}foo bar${IFS}" ]] && echo yes || echo no
yes
$ unset IFS

这解决了大多数假阳性问题,但需要一个好的IFS选择。

注意:如果之前设置了IFS,最好保存并重新设置,而不是使用未设置的IFS

访问bash命令行参数$@ vs $*

下面的代码检查给定值是否在数组中,并返回其从零开始的偏移量:

A=("one" "two" "three four")
VALUE="two"

if [[ "$(declare -p A)" =~ '['([0-9]+)']="'$VALUE'"' ]];then
  echo "Found $VALUE at offset ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
else
  echo "Couldn't find $VALUE"
fi

匹配是在完整的值上完成的,因此设置VALUE="three"将不匹配。

a=(b c d)

if printf '%s\0' "${a[@]}" | grep -Fqxz c
then
  echo 'array “a” contains value “c”'
fi

如果你喜欢,你可以使用相同的长选项:

--fixed-strings --quiet --line-regexp --null-data

没有'grep'和循环的一行检查

if ( dlm=$'\x1F' ; IFS="$dlm" ; [[ "$dlm${array[*]}$dlm" == *"$dlm${item}$dlm"* ]] ) ; then
  echo "array contains '$item'"
else
  echo "array does not contain '$item'"
fi

这种方法既不使用grep这样的外部实用程序,也不使用循环。

这里发生的是:

we use a wildcard substring matcher to find our item in the array that is concatenated into a string; we cut off possible false positives by enclosing our search item between a pair of delimiters; we use a non-printable character as delimiter, to be on the safe side; we achieve our delimiter being used for array concatenation too by temporary replacement of the IFS variable value; we make this IFS value replacement temporary by evaluating our conditional expression in a sub-shell (inside a pair of parentheses)

另一个没有函数的代码:

(for e in "${array[@]}"; do [[ "$e" == "searched_item" ]] && exit 0; done) && echo "found" || echo "not found"

谢谢@Qwerty关于空格的提示!

对应的功能:

find_in_array() {
  local word=$1
  shift
  for e in "$@"; do [[ "$e" == "$word" ]] && return 0; done
  return 1
}

例子:

some_words=( these are some words )
find_in_array word "${some_words[@]}" || echo "expected missing! since words != word"
