thanks, right. I am stupid...

But there is another problem. Do you know how the right syntax has to eb for such a for-loop in bash. Because the while-loop doesn't work equally.

And I am always getting errors. Do you have any idea how to transfer maybe my for-loop into another loop? Or do I have to use "["?

Thanks for help,
Sam

Here is how to do it in ksh93.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh93

float abstand=0.1
float i
float h

for (( i=3.1; i >= 3.0; i-=abstand ))
do
    for (( h=3.0; h >= 2.7; h-=abstand ))
    do
        printf "%1.1f %1.1f 0.75 0 0 1\n" i h
    done
done

Output is
Code:
3.1 3.0 0.75 0 0 1
3.1 2.9 0.75 0 0 1
3.1 2.8 0.75 0 0 1
3.1 2.7 0.75 0 0 1
3.0 3.0 0.75 0 0 1
3.0 2.9 0.75 0 0 1
3.0 2.8 0.75 0 0 1
3.0 2.7 0.75 0 0 1

ok. but the problem is, i am only having mksh and the I am never able to get the AT&T ksh93, because of their license problems....

So Do you know how the syntax should be for a for-loop in mksh? (mksh even doesn't know float then "for ((")

Thanks again for your help
