Accessing Array Values

After you have set any array variable, you access it as follows −
${array_name[index]}
Here array_name is the name of the array, and index is the index of the value to be
accessed. Following is an example to understand the concept −
Live Demo
#!/bin/sh

NAME[0]="Zara"
NAME[1]="Qadir"
NAME[2]="Mahnaz"
NAME[3]="Ayan"
NAME[4]="Daisy"
echo "First Index: ${NAME[0]}"
echo "Second Index: ${NAME[1]}"

The above example will generate the following result −


$./test.sh
First Index: Zara
Second Index: Qadir
You can access all the items in an array in one of the following ways −
${array_name[*]}
${array_name[@]}
Here array_name is the name of the array you are interested in. Following example
will help you understand the concept −
Live Demo
#!/bin/sh

NAME[0]="Zara"
NAME[1]="Qadir"
NAME[2]="Mahnaz"
NAME[3]="Ayan"
NAME[4]="Daisy"
echo "First Method: ${NAME[*]}"
echo "Second Method: ${NAME[@]}"

The above example will generate the following result −


$./test.sh
First Method: Zara Qadir Mahnaz Ayan Daisy
Second Method: Zara Qadir Mahnaz Ayan Daisy
