What's the simplest way to increment the number 0000 up by one until some other 4 digit number while preserving leading zero's until the 1000's has a digit other than 0?
Thanks! jlc

In zsh, it would be something like:
for i in {0000..9999}; do echo $i done

Your homework done in a snap!
for (i=0; i<1000;i++); do printf "%04d\n" i done

Lots of answers, depending on the shell. I like this version for ksh:
typeset -Z4 a=-1 while (( a++ < 1000 )) do print $a done
Not enough use is made of typeset :-)
