Written by Check if an array contains a given string:
teams=(chiefs broncos chargers raiders)
if [[ ${teams[*]} =~ broncos ]]

echo "VICTORY!"

Or, if you don’t want it to contain the string then:
teams=(cardinals 49ers seahawks rams)
if [[ ${teams[*]} =~ broncos ]]
then
echo "This conference sucks"
else
echo "VICTORY!"
fi
WRONG!
It doesn’t work if you try to check if the array contains “b” (I mean, the result would be yes).
The right solution is include boundaries caractères to the regexp : “\b”
search=\\bbroncos\\b
if [[ ${teams[*]} =~ $search ]]
then
echo “VICTORY!”
fi
