Bourne Shell For i in (seq)

Question

I want to write a loop in Bourne shell which iterates a specific set of numbers. Normally I would use seq:

for i in `seq 1 10 15 20`
   #do stuf         


        

Answer 1

You can emulate seq with dc:

For instance:

seq 0 5 120

is rewritten as:

dc -e '0 5 120  1+stsisb[pli+dlt>a]salblax'
