Iterate a range of numbers defined by a variable

[dpertin]

Hello,

First of all thanks for this nice repo :+1:

In the "do not use seq" part you recommend to use the bash built-in range expression which is not straightforward compatible with variables since it works with literals.

Then, is there a best option ? || which of those two options is the best:

• use the external seq such as: for i in seq 1 ${END}; do;
• use bash built-ins eval and echo such as: for i in $(eval echo "{1..$END}"); do but requires a fork() for substitution.

Hi @denaitre,

Thanks for your feedback.

As far as I understand it's possible to use brace expansion for these: http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/expansion/brace

I'm currently very busy. Would you mind opening a pull request with your suggested changes?

any update?
