Others have pointed out the sh and csh way to do this, but I just thought I'd also mention the "jot" program, which is pretty spiffy. You could then do, in sh: for i in `jot 100` do whatever done If you wanted to do every other number (ie 0 2 4 6 8) you'd do: for i in `jot 100 0 100 2` do whatever done Check out man jot for details.
