Print array of strings – Shell Script

February 10, 2022

Dears,

Simple question, I have a shell variable with the following values,

myarr=["Life","is","good","when","you","learning"]

It is an array of strings ! Here is how I want to print it. Also, I need to do with a loop because each of these element would be passed to a function to process the string

Expected Output

Life \
is \
good \
when \
you \
learning

>Solution :

You can make a for loop to print all the elements of your array.

# declare your array variable
declare -a myarr=("Life","is","good","when","you","learning")

# get length of an array
length=${#myarr[@]}

for (( j=0; j<${length}; j++ ));
do
  printf "${myarr[$j]}\n"
done
