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>

for i in "${array[@]}"
do
    if [ "$i" -eq "$yourValue" ] ; then
        echo "Found"
    fi
done

字符串:

for i in "${array[@]}"
do
    if [ "$i" == "$yourValue" ] ; then
        echo "Found"
    fi
done

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"

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
}

如果您想做一个快速而复杂的测试，看看是否值得遍历整个数组以获得精确匹配，Bash可以像对待标量一样对待数组。测试标量中的匹配项，如果没有，则跳过循环节省时间。显然你会得到假阳性。

array=(word "two words" words)
if [[ ${array[@]} =~ words ]]
then
    echo "Checking"
    for element in "${array[@]}"
    do
        if [[ $element == "words" ]]
        then
            echo "Match"
        fi
    done
fi

这将输出“Checking”和“Match”。使用array=(word "two words" something)，它只会输出"Checking"。使用array=(单词“two widgets”什么的)将没有输出。
