Rather than mess with multiple arrays, you can just have a single dictionary that holds the file and status. A single function can decrypt the file. Then just save the file name and status of the decryption in that dictionary. Then loop through the dictionary and here I just print the data, but you could email it or send to Slack or whatever.
This was a quick pass so probably can be cleaned up a bit.
My reasoning behind two arrays was to keep it organized. If I do all successes in one and then all failures in the other. So I have this now:

Well no. I meant Python can easily work with dictionaries (hash maps) vs doing multiple arrays. You'd have to switch to a hash map in Bash vs the multiple arrays.
Gotcha. Yeah it sounds more convenient it just going to take me more time to learn than I have with this current script
Isn't this the one you've been working on for like a year now? I'd say that's enough time to learn a little about scripting.

You use bash for basic stuff, or when there is no better option available.

I've used python for interfacing with sensors connected to a rPi. It's easier to picup than BASH imo.

I personally hate python because of the space indentation defining code blocks. even if I always space indent my code.
But the language is simple and straightforward.

I always hated it for that, but PyCharm and other IDEs make it pretty easy. PyCharm is probably the best. I'm a fan of the JetBrains tools.

On the Python note, I wrote a microservice for a PoC we are doing. I wrote it in Go and it takes a JWT and some information about a secret stored in Vault and authenticates to Vault with the JWT and retrieves the secret. It was around 500-600 lines of code. I rewrote it in Python today and it was less than 40 lines of code.

While a good thing, if you have a working bash script just Google each line “in python”
Declare array in python
For next in python
