Get the index of a value in a Bash array

Question

I have something in bash like

myArray=(\'red\' \'orange\' \'green\')

And I would like to do something like

echo ${         


        

Answer 1

A little more concise and works in Bash 3.x:

my_array=(red orange green)
value='green'

for i in "${!my_array[@]}"; do
   [[ "${my_array[$i]}" = "${value}" ]] && break
done

echo $i
