     j=1
     while [ $j -le 3 ] ; do
          echo "aaaa/bbbb/${i}-${j}.txt" >> outputFile
          j=$((j + 1))
     done
     i=$((i + 1))
done

This one works, Thank you very much. I used to be familiar with scripting. But I forgot them long time ago.Smilie

Thank you. This can also work. I once used this code, but I didn't know I need doubling the ().

How about this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ASTART=1
AEND=2000
BSTART=1
BEND=2000
for (( a=$ASTART; a <= $AEND; a++ ))
do
    for (( b=$BSTART; b <= $BEND; b++ ))
    do
        echo "aaaa/bbbb/${a}-${b}.txt" >> output.txt
    done
done

I thought you wanted the A and B fields to increment. If that's incorrect just change the first part of the echo command.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

outfile=test17.out
if [ -e $outfile ]; then
    rm $outfile
fi

aend=100
bend=10
for (( a=1 ; $a <= $aend;  a=$(($a + 1)) )); do
    for (( b=1 ; $b <= $bend;  b=$(($b + 1)) )); do
        afmt=$(printf "%04d" $a)
        bfmt=$(printf "%04d" $b)
        echo "a${afmt}/b${bfmt}/${afmt}-${bfmt}.txt" >> $outfile
    done
done

Output:
Code:
a0001/b0001/0001-0001.txt
a0001/b0002/0001-0002.txt
a0001/b0003/0001-0003.txt
a0001/b0004/0001-0004.txt
a0001/b0005/0001-0005.txt
a0001/b0006/0001-0006.txt
a0001/b0007/0001-0007.txt
a0001/b0008/0001-0008.txt
a0001/b0009/0001-0009.txt
a0001/b0010/0001-0010.txt
a0002/b0001/0002-0001.txt
a0002/b0002/0002-0002.txt
a0002/b0003/0002-0003.txt
