This would give you a count of the number of files for each different file extension you've got:

Code:
ls | perl -p -e 's/.+\.(.+?)/$1/' | sort | uniq -c

As for the loop, you can always use an incremental counter and test if the file exists. Say with .jpg files:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

NUM=1
while [[ -e a1_$NUM.jpg ]];do
  echo "a1_$NUM.jpg exists"
  let  NUM=$NUM+1
done

Don't know if this is what you needed.

runlim

RUNLIM(1)						      General Commands Manual							 RUNLIM(1)

NAME

       runlim - a program to run benchmarks

SYNOPSIS

       runlim [ options  ...]  command	[ arguments  ...]

DESCRIPTION

       run  is	a  tool  that  can be used to run and control benchmarks.  It executes a given command with (optional) arguments, samples resource
       usage during the run, and kills the process (and its child processes) if a certain time and/or space limit is exhausted.

       Every 100 milliseconds, runlim takes a sample of the program's resource utilization, and logs status information to  stderr  every  second.
       Optionally, the status can be logged to a file.

       Multi-threaded programs can be limited by setting a wall clock timeout.	runlim follows the time accumulation scheme of GNU time for multi-
       threaded programs and programs that spawn multiple child-processes: time spent in each thread/child is  summed  up,  unless  you  are  only
       interested in walk clock time.

OPTIONS

       runlim accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show version of program.

       -o FILE, --output-file=FILE
	      Overwrite or create FILE for output logging.

       -s NUM, --space-limit=NUM
	      Set space limit to NUM megabytes.

       -t NUM, --time-limit=NUM
	      Set time limit to NUM seconds.

       -r NUM, --real-time-limit=NUM
	      Set real time limit to NUM seconds.

       -k, --kill
	      Propagate signals.
