【shell-array】

Creating Array:

  $ names=("Bob" "Peter" "$USER" "Big Bad John")

  $ names=([]="Bob" []="Peter" []="$USER" []="Big Bad John")

  # or...

  $ names[]="Bob"

You can get the number of elements of an array by using ${#array[@]}:

 $ array=(a b c)

 $ echo ${#array[@]}

There is also a second form of expanding all array elements, which is "${arrayname[*]}". This form is ONLY useful for converting arrays into a single string with all the elements joined together. The main purpose for this is outputting the array to humans:

 $ names=("Bob" "Peter" "$USER" "Big Bad John")

 $ echo "Today's contestants are: ${names[*]}"

 Today's contestants are: Bob Peter lhunath Big Bad John

Associative Arrays

　To create an associative array, you need to declare it as such (using declare -A).

 $ declare -A fullNames

 $ fullNames=( ["lhunath"]="Maarten Billemont" ["greycat"]="Greg Wooledge" )

 $ echo "Current user is: $USER.  Full name: ${fullNames[$USER]}."

 Current user is: lhunath.  Full name: Maarten Billemont.
