Your error is quite obvious. Your loop variable is 'i', and as the value of i increases, head -${i} returns more and more lines. Let me explain.
At your first pass through the loop, the value of i is 1. You get the first line. So far so good. At the second pass the value of i becomes 2 and head -${i} becomes head -2, which returns the first two lines.. this will continue as long as the value of i increases.

I have a question about C program for Unix:
Do we have to intialize every variable before we use them in C?
I thought we have to untill I found some programs are not intialize the variable before they were used. (2 Replies)
