How to convert bash array to ADO pipeline variable array

Question

I have an array in bash that looks like:

libs=test1 test2

I would like to use the output of the bash script in a subsequent step in an ADO pipeline. How can I loop over this in ADO with pipeline variables like:

- ${{ each value in $(libs) }}:
   - script: echo $value
   - task: Npm@1
     inputs:
      command: 'custom'
      customCommand: npm publish --ignore-scripts
      workingDir: 'dist/libs/$(value)'
      publishRegistry: 'useFeed'
      publishFeed: 'feed'

libs=test1 test2 is not an array; libs=test1 assigns the string test1 to the variable libs while test2 is treated as a command and, unless you have a command/alias/function named test2, should generate an error; libs=(test1 test2) , or libs=('test1' 'test2'), creates an array named libs — markp-fuso

Thanks for correcting. I would like to use the libs variable array (test1 test2) to loop over in ADO pipeline, as mentioned above. Any ideas? — siddiqah

Unfortunately, you cannot as each statement works only with parameters and not variables (as per documentation).

Moreover, variables are only string while parameters have different data type.
