Creating Multiple Folders From a Bash Array

About this snippet

This snippet allows you to create a series of directories, that are a part of a regular bash array. This is super useful if you have bunch of directories to create and don’t really want to iterate using a loop. Also it makes your script more customizeable, because you control what directories are created in a single array.

#!/bin/bash


var="eins"
var2="zwei"

play_array=("$var" "$var2")

mkdir "${play_array[@]}"
