Well, what file does it create? My crystal ball's still in for maintenance.

Here, in BASH, I can do:

Code:
$ for N in {1..5} ; do touch ${N}{1..5} ; done
$ ls
11  13  15  22  24  31  33  35  42  44  51  53  55
12  14  21  23  25  32  34  41  43  45  52  54
$

...which is just a reduced version of the script I gave you, creating 25 files of [1-5][1-5] instead of 0000-9999.
