Very Simple Question!!

[deteva...@gmail.com]

Hallo

I am not familiar with the code to do shell scripting..... I only know windows codes

I want to write a simple for loop to submit a job 359 times so:

for i=0,359 do begin

exb dosxyznrc name_(i).egsinp etc

endfor

how do I write this so that the name name_(i) changes from name_0 to name_1 etc all the way to 359?

Thank you

In article <15dba7ae-e580-4643...@googlegroups.com>,

#!/bin/csh
set i=0
while ($i < 360)
exb dosxyznrc name_$i.egsinp
@ i++
end

Note that this will run the command 360 times, not 359 as you said above.

With zsh:

i=0; repeat 360 exv dosxyznrc name_$((i++)).ghsinp etc

Or:

for ((i=0;i<360;i++)) exv dosxyznrc name_$((i++)).ghsinp etc

With all shells provided you have a seq command:

seq 0 359 | xargs -I% exb dosxyznrc name_%.egsinp etc

Thank you

ex dosxyznrc is a command with its own script, will it still work?

This makes No sense to me lol

And what shell do you want to use? - In modern shells (ksh, bash, ...) you
could use an arithmetic for-loop, the construct that probably matches best
(optically) with your code above...

for ((i=0; i<=359; i++))
do
exb dosxyznrc name_${i}.egsinp etc
done

> ex dosxyznrc is a command with its own script, will it still work?

If you can call that script stand-alone as you did you can also use it in
the for-loop; your command 'exb' needs execution permission for that.
Otherwise, if it's also a shell script use the respective shell to call it,
e.g. maybe one of

bash exb dosxyznrc name_${i}.egsinp etc

sh exb dosxyznrc name_${i}.egsinp etc

Note that the available shell languages differ. There's a widely available
shell language subset defined by a standard (POSIX), but modern systems
support more powerful or better readable constructs (like the loop above).

I suppose that's one increment too much.

Yeah. Either ++ in the for() or in the $(()), not both.

Another way in shells that have the range operator, like bash:

for i in {1..360}; do
exv dosxyznrc name_$i.ghsinp etc
done

If you want to execute commands inside the terminal window, you have to
pass them using the -e argument. Your script is waiting for
gnome-terminal to complete before it executes the next command.

gnome-terminal -e "cd egsnrc/dos; ex dosxyznrc etc"

Please change your preferences so that you want something that isn't completely
stupid.
