a="Hello,"
a=$a" World!"
echo $a

这是连接两个字符串的方式。

foo="Hello "
foo="$foo World"

您可以在没有引号的情况下进行连接。下面是一个示例：

$Variable1 Open
$Variable2 Systems
$Variable3 $Variable1$Variable2
$echo $Variable3

最后一条语句将打印“OpenSystems”（不带引号）。

这是Bash脚本的示例：

v1=hello
v2=world
v3="$v1       $v2"
echo $v3            # Output: hello world
echo "$v3"          # Output: hello       world

如果您要做的是将字符串拆分为多行，则可以使用反斜杠：

$ a="hello\
> world"
$ echo $a
helloworld

中间有一个空格：

$ a="hello \
> world"
$ echo $a
hello world

此选项还只在两者之间添加一个空格：

$ a="hello \
>      world"
$ echo $a
hello world

有人对性能表示担忧，但没有提供数据。让我建议一个简单的测试。

（注意：macOS上的日期不提供纳秒，因此必须在Linux上完成。）

我在GitHub上创建了append_test.sh，内容如下：

#!/bin/bash -e

output(){
    ptime=$ctime;
    ctime=$(date +%s.%N);
    delta=$(bc <<<"$ctime - $ptime");
    printf "%2s. %16s chars  time: %s  delta: %s\n" $n "$(bc <<<"10*(2^$n)")" $ctime $delta;
}

method1(){
    echo 'Method: a="$a$a"'
    for n in {1..32}; do a="$a$a"; output; done
}

method2(){
    echo 'Method: a+="$a"'
    for n in {1..32}; do a+="$a";  output; done
}

ctime=0; a="0123456789"; time method$1

./append_test.sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory

这些错误表明，我的Bash在崩溃之前达到了335.54432MB。您可以将代码从双倍数据更改为附加一个常量，以获得更精细的图形和故障点。但我认为这应该给你足够的信息来决定你是否在乎。就个人而言，低于100 MB我不会。您的里程数可能有所不同。

我想从列表中创建一个字符串。找不到答案，所以我把它贴在这里。以下是我所做的：

list=(1 2 3 4 5)
string=''

for elm in "${list[@]}"; do
    string="${string} ${elm}"
done

echo ${string}

然后得到以下输出：

1 2 3 4 5
