 Unix Tip #4131- June  3, 2012
 
GENERATE RANGES OF NUMBERS  
  
Sometimes it is necessary to generate a range of  
numbers for further use within a command pipe or  
shell script. This can be done with some simple  
sh-code:  
  
------------------------ CUT HERE ------------------  
  
#! /bin/sh  
  
# range - Generate of numbers.  
  
lo=$1  
hi=$2  
  
while [ $lo -le $hi ]  
do  
echo -n $lo " "  
lo=`expr $lo + 1`  
done  
  
------------------------ CUT HERE ------------------  
  
It can now be used a way like:  
  
for i in `range 69 4711`; do ; done
