Add prefix and suffix to $@ in bash

Question

How to add suffix and prefix to $@?

If I do $PREFIX/$@/$SUFFIX, I get the prefix and the suffix only in the first parameter.

Answer 1

I would use shell [ parameter expansion ] for this

$ set -- one two three
$ echo "$@"
one two three
$ set -- "${@/#/pre}" && set -- "${@/%/post}"
$ echo "$@"
preonepost pretwopost prethreepost

Notes

• The # matches the beginning
• The % matches the end
• Using double quotes around ${@} considers each element as a separate word. so replacement happens for every positional parameter
