使用grep和printf

在新行上格式化每个数组成员，然后grep这些行。

if printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}" | grep -x -q "search string"; then echo true; else echo false; fi

$ array=("word", "two words")
$ if printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}" | grep -x -q "two words"; then echo true; else echo false; fi
true

注意，这对delimeter和空格没有问题。

containsElement () { for e in "${@:2}"; do [[ "$e" = "$1" ]] && return 0; done; return 1; }

现在正确处理空数组。

没有'grep'和循环的一行检查

if ( dlm=$'\x1F' ; IFS="$dlm" ; [[ "$dlm${array[*]}$dlm" == *"$dlm${item}$dlm"* ]] ) ; then
  echo "array contains '$item'"
else
  echo "array does not contain '$item'"
fi

这种方法既不使用grep这样的外部实用程序，也不使用循环。

这里发生的是:

we use a wildcard substring matcher to find our item in the array that is concatenated into a string; we cut off possible false positives by enclosing our search item between a pair of delimiters; we use a non-printable character as delimiter, to be on the safe side; we achieve our delimiter being used for array concatenation too by temporary replacement of the IFS variable value; we make this IFS value replacement temporary by evaluating our conditional expression in a sub-shell (inside a pair of parentheses)

下面的代码检查给定值是否在数组中，并返回其从零开始的偏移量:

A=("one" "two" "three four")
VALUE="two"

if [[ "$(declare -p A)" =~ '['([0-9]+)']="'$VALUE'"' ]];then
  echo "Found $VALUE at offset ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
else
  echo "Couldn't find $VALUE"
fi

匹配是在完整的值上完成的，因此设置VALUE="three"将不匹配。

这对我来说很管用:

# traditional system call return values-- used in an `if`, this will be true when returning 0. Very Odd.
contains () {
    # odd syntax here for passing array parameters: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8082947/how-to-pass-an-array-to-a-bash-function
    local list=$1[@]
    local elem=$2

    # echo "list" ${!list}
    # echo "elem" $elem

    for i in "${!list}"
    do
        # echo "Checking to see if" "$i" "is the same as" "${elem}"
        if [ "$i" == "${elem}" ] ; then
            # echo "$i" "was the same as" "${elem}"
            return 0
        fi
    done

    # echo "Could not find element"
    return 1
}

示例调用:

arr=("abc" "xyz" "123")
if contains arr "abcx"; then
    echo "Yes"
else
    echo "No"
fi

我通常只使用:

inarray=$(echo ${haystack[@]} | grep -o "needle" | wc -w)

非零值表示找到了匹配。

．.． 实际上，为了解决它不能与needle1和needle2工作的问题，如果你只想要一个精确匹配，没有更多，没有更少，只需在-o后面添加一个w标志，用于整个单词匹配:

inarray=$(echo ${haystack[@]} | grep -ow "needle" | wc -w)
