Concatenating strings in bash overwrites them

Question

I\'m parsing query results from a mysql command (with the --table parameter)

local records=`echo \"${query}\" | $MYSQL -u $MyUSER -h $MyHOST -p$MyPASS --tabl         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you're using Bash 3 or later. The += operator in Bash can be used to manipulate an Array. It will use the current value of the IFS variable to split the tokens and add the value to the array.

Try: test="$test $data" to concatenate the data
