Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi;
For sure there's an easy answer to this one that I am not finding..

I first set a variable, say

b1a:] max=5

then I want to use max to set the range for a for loop like so (it should run for i in 1:5)

b1a:] for i in {1..$max}; do echo $i; done
{1..5}

I would like the output to match this:

b1a:] for i in {1..5}; do echo $i; done
1
2
3
4
5

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How about this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env ksh

x=5
for (( i=1; i < $x; i++ ))
do 
   echo $i
done

Code:

max=5; for i in `eval echo {1..$max}`; do echo $i; done

Code:

max=5; for i in $(seq 1 $max); do echo $i; done
