I have the following two files:
> ls *.ccs.bam
m54105_171201_020331.ccs.bam m54105_171201_121745.ccs.bam
Unfortunately, I fail to safe them in array:
> shopt -s nullglob
> ccs_bams=(*.ccs.bam)
> echo $ccs_bams
m54105_171201_020331.ccs.bam
Why does only one file gets printed?
Thank you in advance,
It's storing all the names, but you are only accessing the 0th one. From man bash:
Referencing an array variable without a subscript is equivalent to ref‐
erencing the array with a subscript of 0.
To reference all elements of the array, as separate words, use "${ccs_bams[@]}" ex.
printf '%s\n' "${ccs_bams[@]}"
