在我看来，连接两个字符串的最简单方法是编写一个函数，然后使用该函数。

function concat ()
{
    prefix=$1
    suffix=$2

    echo "${prefix}${suffix}"
}

foo="Super"
bar="man"

concat $foo $bar   # Superman

alien=$(concat $foo $bar)

echo $alien        # Superman

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

测试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。

我在方便的时候这样做：使用内联命令！

echo "The current time is `date`"
echo "Current User: `echo $USER`"

bla=hello
laber=kthx
echo "${bla}ohai${laber}bye"

将输出

helloohaikthxbye

当$blaohai美元导致变量未找到错误。或者如果字符串中有空格或其他特殊字符。“$｛foo｝”正确地转义您放入其中的任何内容。

尽管有特殊的运算符+=用于连接，但有一种更简单的方法：

foo='Hello'
foo=$foo' World'
echo $foo

双引号需要额外的计算时间来解释内部变量。如果可能，请避免。

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
