Re: From a bash array to a csv file line?

casioculture@xxxxxxxxx writes:

I want to put all my variables in an array and then have bash "read"
the input from the user (me) at runtime for each and then "echo" their
values with the date to a csv file so that all would be comma-separated
on the same line.

#v+
for varname in FOO BAR BAZ QUX; do
printf "Enter $varname: "
read $varname
done
printf '%s,%s,%s,%s\n' "$FOO" "$BAR" "$BAZ" "$QUX"
#v-
