bash script, create array of all files in a directory

问题

I have a directory myDir of many .html files. I am trying to create an array of all the files in the directory so I might be able to index the array and be able to refer to particular html files in the directory. I have tried the following line:

myFileNames=$(ls ~/myDir)

for file in $myFileNames; 
#do something

but I want to be able to have a counter variable and have logic like the following:

 while $counter>=0;
   #do something to myFileNames[counter]

I am quite new to shell scripting and am unable to figure out how to achieve this hence would appreciate any help regarding this matter.

回答1:

You can do:

# create an array with all the filer/dir inside ~/myDir
arr=(~/myDir/*)

# iterate through array using a counter
for ((i=0; i<${#arr[@]}; i++)); do
    #do something to each element of array
    echo "${arr[$i]}"
done

You can also do this for iteration of array:

for f in "${arr[@]}"; do
   echo "$f"
done

Your solution will work for generating the array. Instead of using a while loop, use a for loop:

#!/bin/bash
files=$( ls * )
counter=0
for i in $files ; do
  echo Next: $i
  let counter=$counter+1
  echo $counter
done
