在Shell脚本中，如何循环通过包含其他变量的变量

我需要创建一个循环。循环变量包含其他变量。这就是我尝试过的

parentClients="name1 name2"
effectedClients="value1 value2"
otherClients="something1 something2 something3"
client_types="$parentClients $effectedClients $otherClients"
do
   echo $client
#this should print "parentClients" in 1st iteration and "effectedClients" in second and so on.
   for ct in $client
      do
        echo $ct
#this should print name1 name2 nd so on.
      done
      echo "done with one set"
done

此代码的问题在于，它使用bash解析所有值并分配给变量client_类型

使用bash，我们可以使用数组和间接寻址：

parentClients=(name1 name2)
effectedClients=(value1 value2)
otherClients=(something1 something2 something3)
client_types=(parentClients effectedClients otherClients)
for client in "${client_types[@]}"
do
   echo "client=$client"
   c=$client[@]
   for ct in "${!c}"
   do
      echo "  ct=$ct"
   done
   echo "done with one set"
done

这将产生以下输出：

client=parentClients
  ct=name1
  ct=name2
done with one set
client=effectedClients
  ct=value1
  ct=value2
done with one set
client=otherClients
  ct=something1
  ct=something2
  ct=something3
done with one set

client=parentClients
  ct=name1
  ct=name2
done with one set
client=effectedClients
  ct=value1
  ct=value2
done with one set
client=otherClients
  ct=something1
  ct=something2
  ct=something3
done with one set

语句

parentClients=（name1 name2）

创建了一个名为

parentClients

的数组，该数组的值分别为

name1

和

name2

。表达式

${！c}

使用间接寻址来访问名称由

c

给出的数组

使用POSIX外壳 对于POSIX shell，我们必须使用变量而不是数组，并且使用

eval

代替间接寻址：

parentClients="name1 name2"
effectedClients="value1 value2"
otherClients="something1 something2 something3"
client_types="parentClients effectedClients otherClients"
for client in $client_types
do
   echo "client=$client"
   eval "client_list=\$$client" # Potentially dangerous step
   for ct in $client_list
   do
      echo "  ct=$ct"
   done
   echo "done with one set"
done

由于

eval

要求对数据源有一定的信任，因此应谨慎使用

这将产生以下输出：

client=parentClients
  ct=name1
  ct=name2
done with one set
client=effectedClients
  ct=value1
  ct=value2
done with one set
client=otherClients
  ct=something1
  ct=something2
  ct=something3
done with one set

client=parentClients
  ct=name1
  ct=name2
done with one set
client=effectedClients
  ct=value1
  ct=value2
done with one set
client=otherClients
  ct=something1
  ct=something2
  ct=something3
done with one set
