I have some BASH scripts that I used to use on a linux box. Most of
them work well on OS X, except for the ones that require the "seq"
command. I can't seem to find any information on how to download the
source or binaries for this command.
I have poked around the web (including fink) and can't see any obvious
way to obtain just the seq command for my os X box. I don't want play
around with the standard shell distro any more than I absolutely have
to.
Any ideas anyone?
I have also been burned by this one. I added a quick function to
/etc/profile that adds seq functionality as a built-in function to all
shells -- I have extended seq to take an optional 3rd parameter which
is the skip or increment.
# Usage : seq n m [i]
# echo all integers between n and m using a skip or increment of i
seq ()
{
local x=$1;
local y=$2;
local i=${3:-1};
while [ $x -le $y ]; do
echo -n $x' ';
x=$(( $x + $i ));
done
}
