Bash String concatenation and get content

Question

I have a bash loop, I\'m trying to read the all variables:

var1=\"hello1\"

var2=\"hello2\"

var3=\"hello3\"

for i in `seq 1 3`;
do
 ab=var$i
 # Now ab == var1,         


        

Answer 1

Simpler approach:

var1="hello1"
var2="hello2"
var3="hello3"

eval echo\ $var{1..3}\;

Is expanded to:

echo $var1
echo $var2
echo $var3

Ouput:

hello1 
hello2 
hello3

Answer 2

var1="hello1"
var2="hello2"
var3="hello3"

for i in `seq 1 3`;
do
    ab=var$i
    echo ${!ab}
done

I'm not sure it is the best solution to your larger problem, but it is the direct solution to your immediate request.
