How do I obtain the nth element in an array in a bash shell script?



  • Using syntax ${name[n]}

    Define an array (Animals) and get the 5th element, remember array elements start at zero.

    Animals=(lion tiger elephant gorilla hippo giraffe)
    Fifth_Element=${Animals[5]}
    echo $Fifth_Element
    
    $ ./array.sh
    giraffe
