Print continues names
Gents,

I will like to print continues names according to a range of numbers

example
first number
1000
last number
1005

I would like to get the following result
tape1000 tape1001 tape 1002 tape1003 tape1004 tape1005.

Thanks for your support.

Try:
Code:
for i in {1000..1005}; do printf "tape$i "; done; echo

Try like this, if interested in awk

Code:
$ awk -vstart='1000' -vend='1005' -vname='tape' 'BEGIN{for(i=start;i<=end;i++) s = s ? s OFS name i : name i;print s}'

tape1000 tape1001 tape1002 tape1003 tape1004 tape1005

Or like this

Code:
$ echo $(printf 'test%s ' {1000..1005})
test1000 test1001 test1002 test1003 test1004 test1005

$ printf 'test%s ' {1000..1005};printf "\n"
test1000 test1001 test1002 test1003 test1004 test1005

[CODE]$ echo $(printf 'test%s ' {1000..1005})
test1000 test1001 test1002 test1003 test1004 test1005

I did something like this
Code:
     printf "Please enter the tapes numbers.\n"
      printf "\n"
             read -p "First tape: " ftape
      printf "\n"
             read -p "Last tape : " ltape

awk -vstart=$ftape -vend=$ltape -vname='tape' 'BEGIN{for(i=start;i<=end;i++) s = s ? s OFS name i : name i;print "tar cvf /dev/st0 " s}'

Thanks for your helpSmilie
