| Sep 21, 2012 at 14:50 | comment | added | Random832 | I thought about adding a version using arithmetic expansion, but wanted to limit "pure sh" to stuff that would have worked on pre-POSIX versions as well. I also didn't mention seq for the same reason - if you have seq you probably have bash. The loop example is also good for bypassing argument limits for a larger number of directories, which also means there's a place for for i in {range} for users of advanced shells. | |

| Sep 21, 2012 at 12:23 | comment | added | rahmu | @kojiro: [[ works on my ksh88 (which predates bash) so I assumed it was POSIX. I couldn't find any mention of it in the POSIX spec so I believe you're right. Thanks for the info! | |
| Sep 21, 2012 at 12:03 | comment | added | kojiro | @rahmu the [[ keyword is not POSIX. (Not to mention that [ is a shell builtin in many modern shells.) | |
