Hi
I wrote shell script to do the flowing count from 5 and down but doesn’t work please see my program

#Bash

x=0
y=10


while  (( x < y ))
do
(( x = x + 1 ))

grep -A $x 5 numbers >>file4.txt
done

5
6
5

7

Your requirement is not so clear. Can you provide desired output?

BTW If your requirement is to generate sequence of numbers ranging from 0 - 10 in BASH. Then you can simply use a for loop

#!/bin/bash

for x in {0..10}
do
  echo $x
done

I would like to have the output like this
5
6
7
8
9

#!/bin/bash

for x in {5..9}
do
  echo $x
done

Im using grep -A

---------- Post updated at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous update was at 02:20 AM ----------

in my program grep –A $x is lasting to down lines
grep -A $x 5 numbers >>file4.txt

so I have file called number, numbers saved inside it numbers from 1 to 10
grep –A $x going to start greping from 5 to 10
but what im getting output scramble instead of
5
6
7
8
9
10

#!/bin/bash

for x in {5..9}
do
   grep -A$x PATTERN FILE
done

Is print many lines instead of one round of numbers from 5 to 10
