支持多字符分隔符的100%纯Bash函数是:

function join_by {
  local d=${1-} f=${2-}
  if shift 2; then
    printf %s "$f" "${@/#/$d}"
  fi
}

例如,

join_by , a b c #a,b,c
join_by ' , ' a b c #a , b , c
join_by ')|(' a b c #a)|(b)|(c
join_by ' %s ' a b c #a %s b %s c
join_by $'\n' a b c #a<newline>b<newline>c
join_by - a b c #a-b-c
join_by '\' a b c #a\b\c
join_by '-n' '-e' '-E' '-n' #-e-n-E-n-n
join_by , #
join_by , a #a

上面的代码基于@gniourf_gniourf、@AdamKatz、@MattCowell和@x-yuri的想法。它使用选项errexit (set -e)和nounset (set -u)。

或者，一个更简单的只支持单个字符分隔符的函数是:

function join_by { local IFS="$1"; shift; echo "$*"; }

例如,

join_by , a "b c" d #a,b c,d
join_by / var local tmp #var/local/tmp
join_by , "${FOO[@]}" #a,b,c

这个解决方案是基于Pascal Pilz最初的建议。

前面提出的解决方案的详细说明可以在“如何在bash脚本中连接()数组元素”中找到，这是meleu在dev.to上发表的一篇文章。

顶部答案的简短版本:

joinStrings() { local a=("${@:3}"); printf "%s" "$2${a[@]/#/$1}"; }

用法:

joinStrings "$myDelimiter" "${myArray[@]}"

我的尝试。

$ array=(one two "three four" five)
$ echo "${array[0]}$(printf " SEP %s" "${array[@]:1}")"
one SEP two SEP three four SEP five

感谢@gniourf_gniourf对我迄今为止的最佳世界组合的详细评论。很抱歉发布的代码没有完全设计和测试。这是一个更好的尝试。

# join with separator
join_ws() { local d=$1 s=$2; shift 2 && printf %s "$s${@/#/$d}"; }

这种概念上的美是

(still) 100% pure bash ( thanks for explicitly pointing out that printf is a builtin as well. I wasn't aware about this before ... ) works with multi-character delimiters more compact and more complete and this time carefully thought over and long-term stress-tested with random substrings from shell scripts amongst others, covering use of shell special characters or control characters or no characters in both separator and / or parameters, and edge cases, and corner cases and other quibbles like no arguments at all. That doesn't guarantee there is no more bug, but it will be a little harder challenge to find one. BTW, even the currently top voted answers and related suffer from such things like that -e bug ...

附加的例子:

$ join_ws '' a b c
abc
$ join_ws ':' {1,7}{A..C}
1A:1B:1C:7A:7B:7C
$ join_ws -e -e
-e
$ join_ws $'\033[F' $'\n\n\n'  1.  2.  3.  $'\n\n\n\n'
3.
2.
1.
$ join_ws $ 
$

如果你在循环中构建数组，这里有一个简单的方法:

arr=()
for x in $(some_cmd); do
   arr+=($x,)
done
arr[-1]=${arr[-1]%,}
echo ${arr[*]}

下面是一个100%纯Bash函数，它可以完成这项工作:

join() {
    # $1 is return variable name
    # $2 is sep
    # $3... are the elements to join
    local retname=$1 sep=$2 ret=$3
    shift 3 || shift $(($#))
    printf -v "$retname" "%s" "$ret${@/#/$sep}"
}

看:

$ a=( one two "three three" four five )
$ join joineda " and " "${a[@]}"
$ echo "$joineda"
one and two and three three and four and five
$ join joinedb randomsep "only one element"
$ echo "$joinedb"
only one element
$ join joinedc randomsep
$ echo "$joinedc"

$ a=( $' stuff with\nnewlines\n' $'and trailing newlines\n\n' )
$ join joineda $'a sep with\nnewlines\n' "${a[@]}"
$ echo "$joineda"
 stuff with
newlines
a sep with
newlines
and trailing newlines


$

这甚至保留了末尾的换行符，并且不需要一个子shell来获得函数的结果。如果你不喜欢printf -v(为什么你不喜欢它?)并传递一个变量名，你当然可以为返回的字符串使用一个全局变量:

join() {
    # $1 is sep
    # $2... are the elements to join
    # return is in global variable join_ret
    local sep=$1 IFS=
    join_ret=$2
    shift 2 || shift $(($#))
    join_ret+="${*/#/$sep}"
}
