    cd /home/cpabrego/Case$n
    submit options
    ((n++))

or maybe this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
DIRS="Case1 Case2 Case3 Case4 Case5"
DIRS="$DIRS Case6 Case7 Case8 Case9"
 
for d in $DIRS; do
    cd /home/cpabrego/$d
    submit options
done


Thanks for the info. The options for submit are strait forward and are in the form: submit -n 8 filename. Where file name will be constant in every case*.

One thing you pointed out will come into play. The directories will actually be called:
case001
case002
...etc
Which is a bit more complicated. Is this the same thing?

Code:
#!/bin/sh
DIRS="Case*"
DIRS="$DIRS"
 
for d in $DIRS; do
    cd /home/cpabrego/$d
    submit options
done

You have given me a great starting point, I will try your ideas and let the forum what works for me.
