Oh, how it hurts to find out how easy it could all have been.

Having learned most of my scripting with ksh (on AIX), I really haven’t done enough to learn all the little treats in Bash. As it is, I only just recently learned to:

for (( n = 1; n < 5; n++)); do echo $n; done

But, oh my, look at my new play toy:

for s in {X..Z}{1..4}{a..c}; do echo $s; done

Thank you oh so much!
