How to make folders 00-99 with a single command in Ubuntu?
I need to create folders starting from 00 to 99 (00, 01, 02, 03, etc....) in several hundred places. Is there a single line command that will let me do that?
Solution 1:
mulaz's answer is correct, but many people say seq is evil beacuse most shells will let you do the following
mkdir {00..99}
However in some older versions of bash, 0-9 arent padded, so you would have to do
mkdir 0{0..9} {10..99}
Solution 2:
Will this do?
for i in `seq -w 0 99`; do mkdir $i; done
does a loop for numbers 0-99, and "-w" sets the equal width (0 padding for 0-9)
