## Quote array indices to avoid them expanding as globs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
read -r foo[index]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
read -r "foo[index]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
ShellCheck found an array element passed to read, where the `[]` was not quoted. This means the array index `[index]` will be treated as a glob range, and the word may be replaced or trigger `failglob`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the problematic example, having a directory named `food` will cause the command to become `read -r food` instead, since `food` matches the glob `foo[index]`. The result is assigning a value to the wrong variable.
|
||||
|
||||
Quote or escape the pattern as shown to ensure it always reads into the array `foo` at index `index`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
None.
