Create And Loop Through An Array Of Strings In Bash

If all the values you're working with are single words you can process them as a string. See : 2so4kki3

This is how to create an array

bash

NAMES=("alfa bravo" "charlie delta" "echo foxtrot")

for name in "${NAMES[@]}"; do
  echo $name
done

results full

- Don't put commas between items in the array or they'll show up in the output. (i.e. don't do "alfa bravo", "charlie delta")

- The quotes around ` ${NAMES[@]} [TODO: Code shorthand span ] are necessary to keep the strings from splitting on spaces
