数组 Arrays and associative arrays

ordinary array

define a array

array_var=(1 2 3 4 5 6)

Alternately, define an array as a set of index-value pairs as follows:

array_var[0]="test1"
array_var[1]="test2"
array_var[2]="test3"
array_var[3]="test4"
array_var[4]="test5"
array_var[5]="test6"

Print the contents of an array at a given index using:
$ echo ${array_var[0]}
test1
index=5
$ echo ${array_var[$index]}
test6
Print all of the values in an array as a list using:
$ echo ${array_var[*]}
test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6
Alternately, you can use:
$ echo ${array_var[@]}
test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6
Print the length of an array (the number of elements in an array), as follows:
$ echo ${#array_var[*]}
6

Defining associative arrays

$ declare -A fruits_value
$ fruits_value=([apple]='100dollars' [orange]='150 dollars')

Display the content of an array as follows:
$ echo "Apple costs ${fruits_value[apple]}"
Apple costs 100 dollars

Listing of array indexes

$ echo ${!array_var[*]}
Or, we can also use:
$ echo ${!array_var[@]}
