Ksh does not work for loop range

Question

I tried this

#!/bin/ksh
for i in {1..10}
do
  echo "Welcome $i times"
done

in Ksh AIX windows. I get the output as

Welcome {1..10} times

What is wrong here? Shouldn't he print from 1 to 10 ?. Edit: According to the percolator post, from Iteration through a series of ints to ksh?

It works only with linux. Is there any other work around / replace for unix box ksh?

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

is ugly.

Thank.

Answer 1

I think from memory that standard kshon AIX is an older option. It may not support a range loop. Try running ksh93instead ksh. It should be in the same place as kshpossible /usr/bin.

Otherwise, just use something old, like this:

i=1
while [[ $i -le 10 ]] ; do
    echo "Welcome $i times"
    i=$(expr $i + 1)
done
