listOfNames="db_one db_two db_three"
for databaseName in $listOfNames
do
  echo $databaseName
done

或者只是

for databaseName in db_one db_two db_three
do
  echo $databaseName
done

声明数组不适用于Korn shell。对Korn shell使用以下示例：

promote_sla_chk_lst="cdi xlob"

set -A promote_arry $promote_sla_chk_lst

for i in ${promote_arry[*]};
    do
            echo $i
    done

循环遍历数组的方式取决于换行符的存在。使用分隔数组元素的换行符，数组可以称为“$array”，否则应称为“$｛array[@]}”。以下脚本将明确说明：

#!/bin/bash

mkdir temp
mkdir temp/aaa
mkdir temp/bbb
mkdir temp/ccc
array=$(ls temp)
array1=(aaa bbb ccc)
array2=$(echo -e "aaa\nbbb\nccc")

echo '$array'
echo "$array"
echo
for dirname in "$array"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
echo
for dirname in "${array[@]}"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
echo
echo '$array1'
echo "$array1"
echo
for dirname in "$array1"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
echo
for dirname in "${array1[@]}"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
echo
echo '$array2'
echo "$array2"
echo
for dirname in "$array2"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
echo
for dirname in "${array2[@]}"; do
    echo "$dirname"
done
rmdir temp/aaa
rmdir temp/bbb
rmdir temp/ccc
rmdir temp

您可以使用${arrayName[@]}的语法

#!/bin/bash
# declare an array called files, that contains 3 values
files=( "/etc/passwd" "/etc/group" "/etc/hosts" )
for i in "${files[@]}"
do
    echo "$i"
done

listOfNames="db_one db_two db_three"
for databaseName in $listOfNames
do
  echo $databaseName
done

或者只是

for databaseName in db_one db_two db_three
do
  echo $databaseName
done

本着与4ndrew的回答相同的精神：

listOfNames="RA
RB
R C
RD"

# To allow for other whitespace in the string:
# 1. add double quotes around the list variable, or
# 2. see the IFS note (under 'Side Notes')

for databaseName in "$listOfNames"   #  <-- Note: Added "" quotes.
do
  echo "$databaseName"  # (i.e. do action / processing of $databaseName here...)
done

# Outputs
# RA
# RB
# R C
# RD

B.名称中无空格：

listOfNames="RA
RB
R C
RD"

for databaseName in $listOfNames  # Note: No quotes
do
  echo "$databaseName"  # (i.e. do action / processing of $databaseName here...)
done

# Outputs
# RA
# RB
# R
# C
# RD

笔记

在第二个示例中，使用listOfNames=“RA RB R C RD”具有相同的输出。

其他引入数据的方法包括：

stdin（如下所列），变量，数组（接受的答案），文件。。。

从stdin读取

# line delimited (each databaseName is stored on a line)
while read databaseName
do
  echo "$databaseName"  # i.e. do action / processing of $databaseName here...
done # <<< or_another_input_method_here

可以在脚本中指定bash IFS“字段分隔符到行”[1]分隔符，以允许其他空格（即IFS='\n'，或MacOS IFS='\r'）我也喜欢接受的答案：）--我将这些片段作为其他有用的方式来回答这个问题。包括#/脚本文件顶部的bin/bash指示执行环境。我花了几个月的时间才弄清楚如何简单地编写代码：）
