[SOLVED] How to list only name of all subfolders under specific folder into a variable using linux bash

Issue

I have a folder with path ./Ur/postProcessing/forces, and it includes two sub_folders name 0 and 100, now I want to list the name of these two sub_folders into a variable, like time=(0 100).

My code is

dirs=(./Ur/postProcessing/forces/*/)

timeDirs=$(for dir in "${dirs[@]}"
           do
               echo "$dir"
           done)

echo "$timeDirs"

And I get the following results:

./Ur/postProcessing/forcs/0/
./Ur/postProcessing/forces/100/

How can I get (0 100) as a variable? Thanks!

Solution

You can do this in your scripts:

# change directory
cd ./Ur/postProcessing/forces/

# read all sub-directories in shell array dirs
dirs=(*/)

# check content of dirs
declare -p dirs
