Reprint Shell Array Learning

The Linux shell is much more powerful in programming than Windows batch processing, both in loops and operations. Data types are not comparable. Here's a summary of some of the things that an individual does when it comes to working with arrays.

1. Array definitions

[Email protected] ~]$ a= (1 2 3 4 5)
[Email protected] ~]$ echo $a
1

A pair of parentheses indicates an array, and the elements of the array are separated by a "space" symbol.

2. Array reading and Assignment

• Get length :

[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${#a [@]}
5

Use ${#数组名 [@ or *]} to get the array length

• Read :

[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[2]}
3

[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[*]}
1 2 3) 4 5

Using the ${array name [subscript]} subscript is starting from 0 subscript is: * or @ Get the entire array contents

• Assignment value:

[Email protected] ~]$ a[1]=100

[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[*]}
1 100 3) 4 5

[Email protected] ~]$ a[5]=100
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[*]}

1 100 3 4 5 100

It can be referenced directly by the array name [subscript], and if the subscript does not exist, a new array element is added automatically

• Delete:

[Email protected] ~]$ a= (1 2 3 4 5)
[Email protected] ~]$ unset a
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[*]}

[Email protected] ~]$ a= (1 2 3 4 5)
[Email protected] ~]$ unset a[1]
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[*]}
1 3 4 5
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${#a [*]}
4

Directly through: unset array [subscript] can clear the corresponding element, without subscript, clear the entire data.

3. Special use

• Sharding:

[Email protected] ~]$ a= (1 2 3 4 5)
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[@]:0:3}
1 2 3
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[@]:1:4}
2 3 4 5

[[email protected] ~]$ c= (${a[@]:1:4})
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${#c [@]}
4
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${c[*]}
2 3 4 5

Directly through the ${array name [@ or *]: Start position: Length} Slice the original array, return is a string, the middle with "space" separate, so if you add "()", will get the slice array, the above example: C is a new data.

• Replace:

[Email protected] ~]$ a= (1 2 3 4 5)
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[@]/3/100}
1 2 100) 4 5
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[@]}
1 2 3) 4 5
[[email protected] ~]$ a= (${a[@]/3/100})
[[email protected] ~]$ echo ${a[@]}
1 2 100) 4 5

The call method is: ${array name [@ or *]/find character/substitution character} This operation will not change the original array contents, if you need to modify, you can see the above example, redefine the data.

As you can see from the above, the array of Linux shells is already powerful, and the usual operations are more than enough.
