Thanks for the comments guys,

@BRAINSPOIL Agree 100%

@NICK the for loop is a great way to repeat tasks :)

@BINNY V A It depends on the task, I don’t know Python well enough to just roll with it, but Perl or PHP do the trick :)

For such purpose, use a higher level language - like perl or python instead of bash. This should save you time.

my favorite command-line command is the ‘for-loop’, yes the for loop can turn any simple repetitive command into a single one-line command statement. So lately I’ve been writing less ‘scripts’ and more really long command line statements….

And if the script is something useful, share it with the community. I’m always looking for a better way to do things.Happy Holidays!
