True. Thing I like about seq is that it also takes an optional increment value which can be very handy at times.
Is it _really_ that hard to type the explicit loop with test ([) and expr? These were builtins even in bourne shell eons ago.
It is not hard. I *tested* what I posted yesterday, and copied and pasted it into my email.
Sure it worked on the box where you tested it, but I think your version was at least bash-specific and something you'd need to know which version runs where if you use bourne shells anywhere. I'm not good at tracking that stuff, so I like backwards and cross-platform compatibility.
Oh, sure. Running CentOS 6.4, and yes, I use bash.
