seq

I can't believe in all my syadmin I've never used 'seq'. Pretty cool for bash for loops:

m=`seq -f "host%02g" 1 20`
echo $m
host01 host02 host03 host04 host05 host06 host07 host08
host09 host10 host11 host12 host13 host14 host15 host16
host17 host18 host19 host20

Dude, that is AWESOME... i've been looking for a command to do just that for months, for use in a 'foreach' shell script...

Thanks dude!

Hi Viraj,

This is really cool! I knew about 'seq', however, I never knew it could be used in this style. Like Randall, I too used 'for' loop to serve the purpose :(

Thanks,

Barun
