I need to create a bash array from the command line parameters. I only know how to do it when I know the number of parameters. But what do I do when I dont know the number of parameters?

Here is one way of doing it

#!/bin/bash

array=()
while IFS= read -r -p "Enter next item (blank to end input): " element
do
    [[ $element ]] || break
    array+=("$element")
done

printf "%s " "${array[@]}"
printf "\n"
