list numbers between $start and $finish 2

[columb]

I know there's a ksh routine to list the numbers between any two arbitrary points but I can't find it. Any answers please.

That's the one.
As ever I'm in your debt.

What OS is that? I couldnt find the seq command in AIX.

You can usually find it on Linux. I wrote this one for Solaris because I liked it so much, however it lacks some of the seq features such as incrementing by something other than 1, etc. You could easily add that of course...

#!/bin/ksh
# Because there's no 'seq' on Solaris
awk -v START=$1 -v FINISH=$2 'BEGIN { for (i=START; i <= FINISH; i++) { print i } }'
