Sometimes we have to integrate multiple languages like node.js/php/shell script into bash shell script and parse query string to array for supplying query string data for manipulation.

Here is the simple script which will help you to achieve that goal:

#!/usr/bin/env bash declare -A querydict populate_querystring_array () { query=”$1″ while IFS== read arg value do querydict[“$arg”]=”$value” done < <(echo “$query” | sed ‘s/&/\n/g’ ) }
