Generating numeric sequences with the Linux seq command
|
||||
======
|
||||
The Linux seq command can generate lists of numbers and at lightning speed. It's easy to use and flexible, too.
|
||||
[Jamie][1] [(CC BY 2.0)][2]
|
||||
|
||||
One of the easiest ways to generate a list of numbers in Linux is to use the **seq** (sequence) command. In its simplest form, **seq** will take a single number and then list all the numbers from 1 to that number. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 5
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Unless directed otherwise, **seq** always starts with 1. You can start a sequence with a different number by inserting it before the final number.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 3 5
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Specifying an increment
|
||||
|
||||
You can also specify an increment. Say you want to list multiples of 3. Specify your starting point (first 3 in this example), increment (second 3) and end point (18).

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 3 3 18
|
||||
3
|
||||
6
|
||||
9
|
||||
12
|
||||
15
|
||||
18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can elect to go from larger to smaller numbers by using a negative increment (i.e., a decrement).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 18 -3 3
|
||||
18
|
||||
15
|
||||
12
|
||||
9
|
||||
6
|
||||
3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The **seq** command is also very fast. You can probably generate a list of a million numbers in under 10 seconds.

|

$ time seq 1000000
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
…
|
||||
…
|
||||

|
||||
999999
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
real 0m9.290s <== 9+ seconds
|
||||
user 0m0.020s
|
||||
sys 0m0.899s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Using a separator
|
||||
|
||||
Another very useful option is to use a separator. Instead of listing a single number on each line, you can insert commas, colons or some other characters. The -s option followed by the character you wish to use.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s: 3 3 18
|
||||
3:6:9:12:15:18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, if you simply want your numbers to be listed on a single line, you can use a blank as your separator in place of the default linefeed.
|
||||
|
||||
**[ Also see [Invaluable tips and tricks for troubleshooting Linux][4]. ]**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s' ' 3 3 18
|
||||
3 6 9 12 15 18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting to the math
|
||||
|
||||
It may seem like a big leap to go from generating a sequence of numbers to doing math, but given the right separators, **seq** can easily prepare calculations that you can pass to **bc**. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s* 5 | bc
|
||||
120
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
What is going on in this command? Let’s take a look. First, **seq** is generating a list of numbers and using * as the separator.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s* 5
|
||||
1*2*3*4*5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It’s then passing the string to the calculator (**bc**) which promptly multiplies the numbers. And you can do a fairly extensive calculation in a fraction of a second.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ time seq -s* 117 | bc
|
||||
39699371608087208954019596294986306477904063601683223011297484643104\

||||
real 0m0.003s
|
||||
user 0m0.004s
|
||||
sys 0m0.000s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
You only get to choose one separator, so your calculations will be very limited. Use **bc** by itself for more complicated math. In addition, **seq** only works with numbers. To generate a sequence of single letters, use a command like this instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ echo {a..g}
|
||||
a b c d e f g
|
||||
```

使用 Linux seq 命令生成数字序列
|
||||
======
|
||||
Linux seq 命令可以以闪电般的速度生成数字列表。它易于使用而且灵活。
|
||||
[Jamie][1] [(CC BY 2.0)][2]
|
||||
|
||||
在 Linux 中生成数字列表的最简单方法之一是使用 **seq**（sequence）命令。最简单的形式是，**seq** 接收一个数字，并输出从 1 到该数字的列表。例如：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 5
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
除非另有指定，否则 **seq** 始终以 1 开头。你可以在最终数字前面插上不同数字开始。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 3 5
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 指定增量
|
||||
|
||||
你还可以指定增量。假设你要列出 3 的倍数。指定起点（在此示例中为第一个 3 ），增量（第二个 3）和终点（18）。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 3 3 18
|
||||
3
|
||||
6
|
||||
9
|
||||
12
|
||||
15
|
||||
18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
你可以选择使用负增量（即减量）将数字从大变小。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq 18 -3 3
|
||||
18
|
||||
15
|
||||
12
|
||||
9
|
||||
6
|
||||
3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**seq** 命令也非常快。你或许可以在 10 秒内生成一百万个数字的列表。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ time seq 1000000
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
3
|
||||
…
|
||||
…
|
||||
999998
|
||||
999999
|
||||
1000000
|
||||
|
||||
real 0m9.290s <== 9+ seconds
|
||||
user 0m0.020s
|
||||
sys 0m0.899s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 使用分隔符
|
||||
|
||||
另一个非常有用的选项是使用分隔符。你可以插入逗号，冒号或其他一些字符，而不是在每行上列出单个数字。-s 选项后跟要使用的字符。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s: 3 3 18
|
||||
3:6:9:12:15:18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
实际上，如果只是希望将数字列在一行上，那么可以使用空格代替默认的换行符。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s' ' 3 3 18
|
||||
3 6 9 12 15 18
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 开始数学运算
|
||||
|
||||
从生成数字序列到进行数学运算似乎是一个巨大的飞跃，但是有了正确的分隔符，**seq** 可以轻松地传递给 **bc** 进行计算。例如：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s* 5 | bc
|
||||
120
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
该命令中发生了什么？让我们来看看。首先，**seq** 生成一个数字列表，并使用 \* 作为分隔符。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ seq -s* 5
|
||||
1*2*3*4*5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
然后，它将字符串传递给计算器 （**bc**），计算器立即将数字相乘。你可以在不到一秒的时间内进行相当广泛的计算。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ time seq -s* 117 | bc
|
||||
39699371608087208954019596294986306477904063601683223011297484643104\
|
||||
22041758630649341780708631240196854767624444057168110272995649603642\
|
||||
560353748940315749184568295424000000000000000000000000000
|
||||
|
||||
real 0m0.003s
|
||||
user 0m0.004s
|
||||
sys 0m0.000s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 局限性
|
||||
|
||||
你只能选择一个分隔符，因此计算将非常有限。单独使用 **bc** 可进行更复杂的数学运算。此外，**seq** 仅适用于数字。要生成单个字母序列，请改用如下命令：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ echo {a..g}
|
||||
a b c d e f g
|
||||
```
