I am looking for a way to echo names and values of all env variables that start with nlu_setting, so the output might look like:



nlu_setting_json=true
nlu_setting_global=0
nlu_setting_bar=foo


does anyone know how to do this?

for var in "$!nlu_setting_@"; do
printf '%s=%sn' "$var" "$!var"
done


The expansion $!nlu_setting@ is a bash-specific expansion that returns a list of variable names matching a particular prefix. Here we use it to as for all names that start with the string nlu_setting_. We loop over these names and output the name along with the value of that variable.



We get the value of the variable using variable indirection ($!var).

  • @AlexanderMills I would say that it will be more efficient as it's not calling grep. Your solution would also pick up variable names that contain nlu_setting_ anywhere, not just at the start of the variable name (due to the non-anchored regular expression that you are using).

After looking at the answers to this question, I came up with this:



 compgen -A variable | grep "nlu_setting_" | while read v; do
echo "$v = $!v";
done


it seems to work. Never heard of the compgen command, but if it's universal bash built-in, it should be all good..
