Bash expansion

Hi steviedeehook,

i=0
while [ $i -lt 16 ]
do
       mkdir $i
       i=` expr $i + 1`
done

Cheers!

Could you explain that to me a lil?
you set var i to = 0, then each time you create a dir you increase i by 1
what's lt?
what's expr?
What I actually need would be:
i=0; while [ $i -lt 160 ]; do mkdir $i; i=` expr $i + 10`; done; rm -r 0
:-) it's not much shorter, but it'll help when there are more than 15 to create.
Thanks
Steven

Did you need any further clarifications?

please take time to read the grading guidelines here
https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp#hi73

no, sorry, I guess I should have graded u as A,
Just that the answer you gave wasn't totally corrrect, It didn't do what I was looking for and I had to edit it.
But it was the fastest and best service I've had here.
sorry, and thanks
Steven

>Just that the answer you gave wasn't totally corrrect, It didn't do what I was looking for and I had to edit it.
In that case you should post back seeking clarifications unless the edit was too trivial.

I thought the script I gave did actually do what you asked for in the original question ... Out of curiosity what was missing?

Moderators can update the grades. Would you be agreeable to updating the grade to A if I were to post a request in CS?

Yea you can upgrade it to an A.
i=0
while [ $i -lt 160 ]
do mkdir $i
i=` expr $i + 10`
done
rm -r 0
does what I was lookin for
I think you didn't see the 0 at the end of my first command "mkdir {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}0"

thanks :) .. You are right ... I missed the 0
