Hi As part of a shell script I need to write a for loop that iterates from 1 to 10 inclusive. I know I can use this: for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do echo $i done However, that's a pretty nasty way of doing it. I've seen a function that will create the list "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. I think it's something like (range 1 10) or (list 1 10), but no amount of google searching has jogged my memory. Any ideas? -- Mark Drayton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
