@ghostdog74关于使用大小写逻辑检查数组包含特定值的回答的一个小补充:

myarray=(one two three)
word=two
case "${myarray[@]}" in  ("$word "*|*" $word "*|*" $word") echo "found" ;; esac

或者打开extglob选项，你可以这样做:

myarray=(one two three)
word=two
shopt -s extglob
case "${myarray[@]}" in ?(*" ")"$word"?(" "*)) echo "found" ;; esac

我们也可以用if语句:

myarray=(one two three)
word=two
if [[ $(printf "_[%s]_" "${myarray[@]}") =~ .*_\[$word\]_.* ]]; then echo "found"; fi

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。

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。

: NeedleInArgs "$needle" "${haystack[@]}"
: NeedleInArgs "$needle" arg1 arg2 .. argN
NeedleInArgs()
{
local a b;
printf -va '\n%q\n' "$1";
printf -vb '%q\n' "${@:2}";
case $'\n'"$b" in (*"$a"*) return 0;; esac;
return 1;
}

使用:

NeedleInArgs "$needle" "${haystack[@]}" && echo "$needle" found || echo "$needle" not found;

对于bash v3.1及以上版本(printf -v支持) 没有分叉，也没有外部程序 没有循环(除了bash中的内部扩展) 适用于所有可能的值和数组，没有异常，没有什么可担心的

也可以直接使用，比如:

if      NeedleInArgs "$input" value1 value2 value3 value4;
then
        : input from the list;
else
        : input not from list;
fi;

对于从v20.5 b到v3.0的bash, printf缺少-v，因此需要额外的2个fork(但不需要执行，因为printf是bash内置的):

NeedleInArgs()
{
case $'\n'"`printf '%q\n' "${@:2}"`" in
(*"`printf '\n%q\n' "$1"`"*) return 0;;
esac;
return 1;
}

注意，我测试了时间:

check call0:  n: t4.43 u4.41 s0.00 f: t3.65 u3.64 s0.00 l: t4.91 u4.90 s0.00 N: t5.28 u5.27 s0.00 F: t2.38 u2.38 s0.00 L: t5.20 u5.20 s0.00
check call1:  n: t3.41 u3.40 s0.00 f: t2.86 u2.84 s0.01 l: t3.72 u3.69 s0.02 N: t4.01 u4.00 s0.00 F: t1.15 u1.15 s0.00 L: t4.05 u4.05 s0.00
check call2:  n: t3.52 u3.50 s0.01 f: t3.74 u3.73 s0.00 l: t3.82 u3.80 s0.01 N: t2.67 u2.67 s0.00 F: t2.64 u2.64 s0.00 L: t2.68 u2.68 s0.00

Call0和call1是对另一个快速pure-bash变体调用的不同变体 Call2在这里。 N=notfound F=firstmatch L=lastmatch 小写字母为短数组，大写字母为长数组

正如您所看到的，这里的这个变体有一个非常稳定的运行时，所以它不太依赖于匹配位置。运行时主要由数组长度决定。搜索变量的运行时高度依赖于匹配位置。所以在边缘情况下，这个变体可以(快得多)。

但非常重要的是，搜索变量的RAM效率更高，因为这里的这个变量总是将整个数组转换为一个大字符串。

所以如果你的内存很紧，你希望大部分比赛都是早期的，那么就不要在这里使用这个。但是，如果您想要一个可预测的运行时，有很长的数组来匹配(期望延迟或根本不匹配)，并且双RAM使用也不是太大的问题，那么这里有一些优势。

定时测试脚本:

in_array()
{
    local needle="$1" arrref="$2[@]" item
    for item in "${!arrref}"; do
        [[ "${item}" == "${needle}" ]] && return 0
    done
    return 1
}

NeedleInArgs()
{
local a b;
printf -va '\n%q\n' "$1";
printf -vb '%q\n' "${@:2}";
case $'\n'"$b" in (*"$a"*) return 0;; esac;
return 1;
}

loop1() { for a in {1..100000}; do "$@"; done }
loop2() { for a in {1..1000}; do "$@"; done }

run()
{
  needle="$5"
  arr=("${@:6}")

  out="$( ( time -p "loop$2" "$3" ) 2>&1 )"

  ret="$?"
  got="${out}"
  syst="${got##*sys }"
  got="${got%"sys $syst"}"
  got="${got%$'\n'}"
  user="${got##*user }"
  got="${got%"user $user"}"
  got="${got%$'\n'}"
  real="${got##*real }"
  got="${got%"real $real"}"
  got="${got%$'\n'}"
  printf ' %s: t%q u%q s%q' "$1" "$real" "$user" "$syst"
  [ -z "$rest" ] && [ "$ret" = "$4" ] && return
  printf 'FAIL! expected %q got %q\n' "$4" "$ret"
  printf 'call:   %q\n' "$3"
  printf 'out:    %q\n' "$out"
  printf 'rest:   %q\n' "$rest"
  printf 'needle: %q\n' "$5"
  printf 'arr:   '; printf ' %q' "${@:6}"; printf '\n'
  exit 1
}

check()
{
  printf 'check %q: ' "$1"
  run n 1 "$1" 1 needle a b c d
  run f 1 "$1" 0 needle needle a b c d
  run l 1 "$1" 0 needle a b c d needle
  run N 2 "$1" 1 needle "${rnd[@]}"
  run F 2 "$1" 0 needle needle "${rnd[@]}"
  run L 2 "$1" 0 needle "${rnd[@]}" needle
  printf '\n'
}

call0() { chk=("${arr[@]}"); in_array "$needle" chk; }
call1() { in_array "$needle" arr; }
call2() { NeedleInArgs "$needle" "${arr[@]}"; }

rnd=()
for a in {1..1000}; do rnd+=("$a"); done

check call0
check call1
check call2

借鉴Dennis Williamson的答案，下面的解决方案结合了数组、shell-safe引号和正则表达式，以避免需要:遍历循环;使用管道或其他子过程;或者使用非bash实用程序。

declare -a array=('hello, stack' one 'two words' words last)
printf -v array_str -- ',,%q' "${array[@]}"

if [[ "${array_str},," =~ ,,words,, ]]
then
   echo 'Matches'
else
   echo "Doesn't match"
fi

上面的代码通过使用Bash正则表达式来匹配数组内容的字符串化版本。有六个重要的步骤来确保正则表达式匹配不会被数组中的值的巧妙组合所欺骗:

Construct the comparison string by using Bash's built-in printf shell-quoting, %q. Shell-quoting will ensure that special characters become "shell-safe" by being escaped with backslash \. Choose a special character to serve as a value delimiter. The delimiter HAS to be one of the special characters that will become escaped when using %q; that's the only way to guarantee that values within the array can't be constructed in clever ways to fool the regular expression match. I choose comma , because that character is the safest when eval'd or misused in an otherwise unexpected way. Combine all array elements into a single string, using two instances of the special character to serve as delimiter. Using comma as an example, I used ,,%q as the argument to printf. This is important because two instances of the special character can only appear next to each other when they appear as the delimiter; all other instances of the special character will be escaped. Append two trailing instances of the delimiter to the string, to allow matches against the last element of the array. Thus, instead of comparing against ${array_str}, compare against ${array_str},,. If the target string you're searching for is supplied by a user variable, you must escape all instances of the special character with a backslash. Otherwise, the regular expression match becomes vulnerable to being fooled by cleverly-crafted array elements. Perform a Bash regular expression match against the string.
