Loop through an array of strings in Bash?
You can use it like this:
## declare an array variabledeclare -a arr=("element1" "element2" "element3")## now loop through the above arrayfor i in "${arr[@]}"do echo "$i" # or do whatever with individual element of the arraydone# You can access them using echo "${arr[0]}", "${arr[1]}" alsoAlso works for multi-line array declaration
declare -a arr=("element1" "element2" "element3" "element4" )
That is possible, of course.
for databaseName in a b c d e f; do # do something like: echo $databaseNamedone See Bash Loops for, while and until for details.
None of those answers include a counter...
#!/bin/bash## declare an array variabledeclare -a array=("one" "two" "three")# get length of an arrayarraylength=${#array[@]}# use for loop to read all values and indexesfor (( i=0; i<${arraylength}; i++ ));do echo "index: $i, value: ${array[$i]}"doneOutput:
index: 0, value: oneindex: 1, value: twoindex: 2, value: three
