Jak pokroić tablicę w Bash

Istnieje również wygodny skrót, aby uzyskać wszystkie elementy tablicy zaczynające się od podanego indeksu. Na przykład " ${a [@]: 1}" będzie "ogonem" tablicy, czyli tablicą bez jej pierwszego elementu.

version=4.7.1
A=( ${version//\./ } )
echo "${A[@]}"    # 4 7 1
B=( "${A[@]:1}" )
echo "${B[@]}"    # 7 1

Wycinanie tablic jak w Pythonie (z biblioteki rebash):

array_slice() {
    local __doc__='
    Returns a slice of an array (similar to Python).

    From the Python documentation:
    One way to remember how slices work is to think of the indices as pointing
    between elements, with the left edge of the first character numbered 0.
    Then the right edge of the last element of an array of length n has
    index n, for example:
    ```
    +---+---+---+---+---+---+
    | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
    +---+---+---+---+---+---+
    0   1   2   3   4   5   6
    -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1
    ```

    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice 1:-2 "${a[@]}")
    1 2 3
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice 0:1 "${a[@]}")
    0
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> [ -z "$(array.slice 1:1 "${a[@]}")" ] && echo empty
    empty
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> [ -z "$(array.slice 2:1 "${a[@]}")" ] && echo empty
    empty
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> [ -z "$(array.slice -2:-3 "${a[@]}")" ] && echo empty
    empty
    >>> [ -z "$(array.slice -2:-2 "${a[@]}")" ] && echo empty
    empty

    Slice indices have useful defaults; an omitted first index defaults to
    zero, an omitted second index defaults to the size of the string being
    sliced.
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> # from the beginning to position 2 (excluded)
    >>> echo $(array.slice 0:2 "${a[@]}")
    >>> echo $(array.slice :2 "${a[@]}")
    0 1
    0 1

    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> # from position 3 (included) to the end
    >>> echo $(array.slice 3:"${#a[@]}" "${a[@]}")
    >>> echo $(array.slice 3: "${a[@]}")
    3 4 5
    3 4 5

    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> # from the second-last (included) to the end
    >>> echo $(array.slice -2:"${#a[@]}" "${a[@]}")
    >>> echo $(array.slice -2: "${a[@]}")
    4 5
    4 5

    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice -4:-2 "${a[@]}")
    2 3

    If no range is given, it works like normal array indices.
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice -1 "${a[@]}")
    5
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice -2 "${a[@]}")
    4
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice 0 "${a[@]}")
    0
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> echo $(array.slice 1 "${a[@]}")
    1
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> array.slice 6 "${a[@]}"; echo $?
    1
    >>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
    >>> array.slice -7 "${a[@]}"; echo $?
    1
    '
    local start end array_length length
    if [[ $1 == *:* ]]; then
        IFS=":"; read -r start end <<<"$1"
        shift
        array_length="$#"
        # defaults
        [ -z "$end" ] && end=$array_length
        [ -z "$start" ] && start=0
        (( start < 0 )) && let "start=(( array_length + start ))"
        (( end < 0 )) && let "end=(( array_length + end ))"
    else
        start="$1"
        shift
        array_length="$#"
        (( start < 0 )) && let "start=(( array_length + start ))"
        let "end=(( start + 1 ))"
    fi
    let "length=(( end - start ))"
    (( start < 0 )) && return 1
    # check bounds
    (( length < 0 )) && return 1
    (( start < 0 )) && return 1
    (( start >= array_length )) && return 1
    # parameters start with $1, so add 1 to $start
    let "start=(( start + 1 ))"
    echo "${@: $start:$length}"
}
alias array.slice="array_slice"

Powiedzmy, że czytam tablicę od użytkownika, a następnie chcę zobaczyć elementy od 3 do 7 włącznie .

cnt=0
while read var;
    do
    myarr[cnt]=$var
    cnt=$((cnt+1)) 
    done


echo ${myarr[@]:3:5}
