Range values {1..n} in FOR Loop doesn't work in AIX,HP,SUN ...

The FOR Loop with range values is specially for the BASH shell.
So when you get to other OS ,if the BASH is not set then you will not be getting the expected error.


Code :

echo Shell:: $SHELL
for range in {1..3}
do
echo "Range: $range"
done;

OUTPUT :

Linux	AIX	SUN
Shell::/bin/ksh    Range: 1   Range: 2   Range: 3	Shell::/bin/ksh  Range: {1..3}	Shell::/bin/ksh  Range: {1..3}

How to overcome this issue :

Add the "#!/bin/bash" . (find the path of the bash in other os and add it in the script.)

which bash

/usr/bin/bash

Code :

#!/usr/bin/bash

echo Shell::$SHELL

for range in {1..3}

do

echo "Range: $range"

done;

OUTPUT : AIX 

Shell::/bin/ksh

Range: 1

Range: 2

Range: 3
