Show 1 to N on the terminal

I am looking for simple thing just, foo 8 will shows this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

PS: I am looking just for command line. I know how to create that by using for on the bash

Solution 1:

To print a sequence of number the command 'seq' is your friend

seq 8

Solution 2:

{1..8} will give you a simple argument range in Bash.

If you need that line by line, I'd suggest feeding that to something like printf:

$ printf '%d\n' {1..8}
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Solution 3:

You can also use echo command with brace expansion

echo -e "\n"{1..8}

1 
2 
3 
4 
5 
6 
7 
8

If you don't want the initial newline, you can use one of the below commands.

echo -e "\n"{1..8}|tail -n8

echo -e "\n"{1..8}|grep .

echo -e "\n"{1..8}|grep [0-9]

echo -e "\n"{1..8}|sed 1d
