For loop

Piotr Kirklewski — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:05:33 GMT

Hi there
I have a simple loop

#! /sbin/sh

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do
echo $i
done

The thing is, i nead this command to be repeated 1000 times.

Is there any way to do this without puting 1 2 3 ... 1000 ?

Cheers

Hi,
don't know about for loop, but with while:
#!/usr/bin/sh
i=1
while [ $i -le 1000 ]
do
echo $i
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

Hey

integer i = 1

while ((i<=1000))
do
echo ${i}
i=((${i+}1))
done

Don't forget to assign points, also in your earlier threads!
