help needed with creating challenging bash script with creating directories
Hi,
Can someone help me with creating a bash shell script.
I need to create a script that gets a positive number n as an argument.
The script must create n directories in the current directory with names like map_1, map_2 etcetera. Each directory must be contained within its predecessor. So map_1 contains map_2, map_2 contains map_3 and so forth.
Thanks for the help!

IPESCRIPT(1) General Commands Manual IPESCRIPT(1)
NAME
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua)
SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments }
DESCRIPTION
ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script
in any of the script directories.
The script argument should not contain the .lua extension.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables:
IPELATEXDIR
the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.
IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for
scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide
Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single under-
score is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory.
IPEDEBUG
set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript.
