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

我通常只使用:

inarray=$(echo ${haystack[@]} | grep -o "needle" | wc -w)

非零值表示找到了匹配。

．.． 实际上，为了解决它不能与needle1和needle2工作的问题，如果你只想要一个精确匹配，没有更多，没有更少，只需在-o后面添加一个w标志，用于整个单词匹配:

inarray=$(echo ${haystack[@]} | grep -ow "needle" | wc -w)

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

别胡闹了!使您的解决方案简单、干净和可重用。

这些函数负责索引数组和关联数组。可以通过将搜索算法从线性搜索升级为二进制搜索(用于大型数据集)来改进它们。

##
# Determines if a value exists in an array.
###
function hasArrayValue ()
{
    local -r needle="{$1:?}"
    local -nr haystack="{$2:?}"  # Where you pass by reference to get the entire array in one argument.

    # Linear search. Upgrade to binary search for large datasets.
    for value in "${haystack[@]}"; do
        if [[ "$value" == "$needle" ]]; then
            return 0
        fi
    done

    return 1
}

##
# Determines if a value exists in an associative array / map.
###
function hasMapValue ()
{
    local -r needle="{$1:?}"
    local -nr haystack="{$2:?}"

    # Linear search. Upgrade to binary search for large datasets.
    for value in "${haystack[@]}"; do
        if [[ $value == $needle ]]; then
            return 0
        fi
    done

    return 1
}

是的，同样的逻辑，但在处理bash时，如果函数的名称可以让您知道迭代的对象(或不迭代的对象)，则可能(可能)有用。

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
}
