Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Need help with a while loop

Can you use perl instead? perl -E "say $_ for 0..65535" > > /home/netflow/etc/0-65535.txt On Wed, June 25, 2014 12:53 pm, Scott Granados wrote:

I’m trying to write a small script in bash and it’s not working.

I want to count from 0 to 65535 and put that number, 1 per line in a flat file

I was trying something like this COUNT=0 while [$COUNT -lt 65536] do echo $COUNT >> /home/netflow/etc/0-65535.txt COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1` done

I keep getting a bash “0 invalid command” Anyone know how to write this expression correctly so it populates the file?

Thanks Scott
