someone else mentioned seq too and I've been
trying to use it but can't get
the syntax right - what you've just posted is new to me
is there a bash reference somewhere? obviously there is - the tutorial I
was reading didn't mention seq though
I tried
for X in seq '1 9'
and
for X in seq 1 9
but neither of those works
Hi;
seq is just a handy command, not a part of bash. (man seq
for useful options) If you want to access the output of a useful
command in one of your scripts, you could do it like this:
for X in $(seq 1 99) ; do
or
for X in `seq 1 99` ; do
Unix has many many little commands designed to make your life
easier, particularly for scripts.
