Loop through an array of strings in Bash?

Question

I want to write a script that loops through 15 strings (array possibly?) Is that possible?

Something like:

for databaseName in listOfNames
then
  # D         


        

Answer 1

Single line looping,

 declare -a listOfNames=('db_a' 'db_b' 'db_c')
 for databaseName in ${listOfNames[@]}; do echo $databaseName; done;

you will get an output like this,

db_a
db_b
db_c
