How to pass an array argument to the Bash script

Question

It is surprising me that I do not find the answer after 1 hour search for this. I would like to pass an array to my script like this:

test.sh argument1 array         


        

Answer 1

You can write your array to a file, then source the file in your script. e.g.:

array.sh

array=(a b c)

test.sh

source $2
...

Run the test.sh script:

./test.sh argument1 array.sh argument3
