Loop through an array and run a command on each value
$ for i in $${{array_name}[@]}; do ${command}; done
try on your machine

This command is a for loop that iterates over each element in the array named "array_name" and executes the specified command for each element.

Here's a breakdown of how this command works:

  1. "for i in $${{array_name}[@]}" - This line initializes a loop by declaring a variable "i" that takes the value of each element in the "array_name" array. The double dollar sign ($$) is used to expand the array variable.

  2. "do ${command}" - This line specifies the command that will be executed for each element of the array. The "${command}" is a placeholder for the actual command that you would provide.

  3. "done" - This line marks the end of the loop block.

So, when you run this command, it will iterate over each element in the "array_name" array and execute the specified command, substituting the value of the current iteration element into the variable "i".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
