Wow, when you say "bash script" there's no kidding, the above is
chock full of bash-specific extensions.  My preference is for
portability, and not to force my own preferences on others, i.e.
using standards as much as possible.

As a non-redis user myself, I *think* the following shell script
should be equivalent to the above, and be portable to other
Bourne shells:

#!/bin/sh

redis-cli --scan | while read e; do
    data=$(echo "dump $e" | redis-cli | tr -d '\0')
    if expr "$data" : ".*accounts.*google.*com.*" > /dev/null;
    then
        echo "$e"
	# redis-cli del "$e"
    fi
done
