Bash for loop with range {#..#}
The {#..#} generate a sequence of numbers or chars, similarly to range() in Python.
If I execute the command echo {1..5}
in the command line I have:
1 2 3 4 5
Instead the following bash script doesn't work as expected.
for i in {1..3};
do
echo "Iteration $i"
done
will print:
Iteration {1..3}
Why?
*I could use seq
but I read it's outdate (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-for-loop/)
I've tried your code (copy paste into a terminal) and it produced a different result from what you posted:
for i in {1..3};
do
echo "Iteration $i"
done
#---OUTPUT BELOW---
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Iteration 3
Im using Linux Mint 12 Lisa (derived from Ubuntu) with bash version 4.2.10(1)-release
