Script to run files of same spelling except numbering

[ronfarris]

Does anyone know how to run a script with the same spelling where only the numbers are different. I can easily make a script that will run each separate file individually, however, since the files are exactly the same except for the last digits, example(runthis0, runthis1,...runthis31), rather than writing in the script each separate filename. Example of script

runthis0 &&
runthis1 &&
runthis31 &&

Is there a wildcard that I can use that will call up each of these files without type a new line for each file or script?
for instance runthis&* or something.

Would greatly appreciate your assistance.
Thank you in advance.
Ron

Hi ron

You may aleady know this, but have you tried to use a for loop

for filename in `ls run*`
do

May work.

I guess is better for you to run
[tt]
for SCRIPTN in run[0-9]*
do
[red]$SCRIPTN & [/red]
done
[/tt]

I hope it works...

Ron,

Elgis' script looked like it should work -- what error message or result did you get? Mike

Maybe you need to use
[tt]
for SCR in run[0-9]*
do
chmod u+x $SCR
[red]./[/red]$SCR
done
[/tt]
