Check if any argument matches using helper func

I have this:



ql_match_arg()
declare -a my_array=$1
for var in "$my_array[@]"; do
if [[ "$var" == "$2" ]]; then
return 0;
fi
done



ql_ls ()
local my_array=( "$@" ); ql_json=$(ql_match_arg my_array[@] '--json' && echo "yes")
ql_pid="$$" ql_json="$ql_json" ql_node_ls_all



what I am trying to do is create a helper function (ql_match_arg) which can be used by other functions to determine in any argument matches a given name. In this case, I want to find out if the --json flag is passed as any argument to ql_ls.



The problem I have is that it's not looping over my_array - something is wrong with my code - either I am not passing the array to ql_match_arg correctly, or something else is wrong.

With this:



declare -a my_array=$1


You are creating an array with just one value: $1, the first argument passed to your script. So there is not much to loop over there.



If you want all arguments, try:



declare -a my_array=$@


Instead.
