单线循环，

 declare -a listOfNames=('db_a' 'db_b' 'db_c')
 for databaseName in ${listOfNames[@]}; do echo $databaseName; done;

你会得到这样的输出，

db_a
db_b
db_c

我循环浏览一系列项目以进行git pull更新：

#!/bin/sh
projects="
web
ios
android
"
for project in $projects do
    cd  $HOME/develop/$project && git pull
end

这也很容易阅读：

FilePath=(
    "/tmp/path1/"    #FilePath[0]
    "/tmp/path2/"    #FilePath[1]
)

#Loop
for Path in "${FilePath[@]}"
do
    echo "$Path"
done

简单方法：

arr=("sharlock"  "bomkesh"  "feluda" )  ##declare array

len=${#arr[*]}  # it returns the array length

#iterate with while loop
i=0
while [ $i -lt $len ]
do
    echo ${arr[$i]}
    i=$((i+1))
done


#iterate with for loop
for i in $arr
do
  echo $i
done

#iterate with splice
 echo ${arr[@]:0:3}

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

您可以这样使用：

## declare an array variable
declare -a arr=("element1" "element2" "element3")

## now loop through the above array
for i in "${arr[@]}"
do
   echo "$i"
   # or do whatever with individual element of the array
done

# You can access them using echo "${arr[0]}", "${arr[1]}" also

也适用于多行数组声明

declare -a arr=("element1" 
                "element2" "element3"
                "element4"
                )
