   !TIL that you can for-loop in #bash from integer a to b like this: for i in {a..b}; do; done. So simple, and yet so elegant! Love it!

     @kzimmermann ... and explicit sequences and permutations, with constants:
     
     for i in mypic{0..3}{7..9}{d..f}.{gif,jpg}; do echo $i; done

     @clacke that's neat, I didn't know you could chain them like that. I can definitely see some use for these constructions!

     @clacke even easier: echo {0..3}{7..9}{d..f}.{gif,jpg} You don't need a for-loop for that.

     @mcscx Not the same! printf '%s\n' {0..3}{7..9}{d..f}.{gif,jpg} though. But the precise command called, or the loop, wasn't the point. :-)
