Subject: [Feature Request] Add Zsh-style range and list iteration syntax to Eshell
Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2024 17:15:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YMYRCbhe-joscqI5Yi7KwU6OmubPgGCXuBoLzoGpSf10hen72BVWaVRNEHvzGFAoIS01-v9jE4bmop1oj_5DYA6deogK0vzCpq7USSEMnWM=@proton.me> (raw)

Zsh has an ability to quickly iterate over ranges and lists like this:

touch file{1,3}
creates: file1, file3

touch file{1..3}

creates: file1, file2, file3

It would be handy to have something similar in eshell instead of explicitly writing a loop:

for i in (number-sequence 1 5) {
touch (format "file%d" i)
}
