Bash for loop
From thelinuxwiki
Example:
for i in {1..5} do echo "Welcome $i times" done
using variable start and end parameters
NUM=10 for (( i=2; i<=$NUM; i++ )) do printf "$i " done
output
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
portable for loop (for older bash versions)
for i in `seq 10` do echo "the i is $i" done
for VARIABLE in 1 2 3 4 5 .. N do command1 command2 commandN done
OR
for VARIABLE in file1 file2 file3 do command1 on $VARIABLE command2 commandN done
OR
for OUTPUT in $(Linux-Or-Unix-Command-Here) do command1 on $OUTPUT command2 on $OUTPUT commandN done
C style for variable usage
for (( i = 0; i <= $length; i++ )) do echo "do something right $i" done
