BASH> if ARRAY [does not] contains string

Written by Scott Rowley

teams=(chiefs broncos chargers raiders)
if [[ ${teams[*]} =~ broncos ]]
then
echo "VICTORY!"
fi

Or, if you don’t want it to contain the string then:

teams=(chiefs broncos chargers raiders)
if [[ ${teams[*]} =~ broncos ]]
then
echo "VICTORY!"
fi

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
