How to code a series of numbers in SH
Hi.
How can I write this in a shorter way?

Code:
for NUMs in 1 2 3 4 5 6

I looked at the"seq" command, but I do not think that is what I want.

Can I code
Code:
for NUMs (1..7)

Hey!! Is that it?

You can use the seq command(Not available in all *nix flavours)

Code:
for each in `seq 1 10 | xargs`
do
echo $each
done
