Question

Thank you very much for helping!!!

I have the following code:

base[0]='coordfinder'
base[1]='editor_and_options'
base[2]='global'
base[3]='gyro'
base[4]='movecamera'
base[5]='orientation'
base[6]='sa'

for d in $dest_include/*; do
    if [ $d == "${base[@]}" ]; then
        echo $plugin='y' >> vt_conf.sh
    else
        plugin=$(basename $d)
        echo $plugin'?'
        read $plugin
        echo $plugin=${!plugin} >> vt_conf.sh
    fi
done

It doesn’t work, but it’s a good starting point.
Basically the thing that doesn’t work is the if loop. I just made it up because I don’t know how to do it.

I’d like to do the following:

Loop through the content of $dest_include folder.
If any of the forlders ($d) matches any of the elements in the array do one thing, else do something else.

Thanks!!!

Iterate through an inner loop, setting a flag if you find a match.

base=( coordfinder editor_and_options global gyro movecamera orientation sa )
for d in "$dest_include/"*; do
  found_match=0
  for i in "${base[@]}"; do
    [[ $d = "$i" ]] && { found_match=1; break; }
  done
  if (( found_match )) ; then
    ...do one thing...
  else
    ...do the other...
  fi
done
