Help with Touch Command

Hello,

I am trying to use touch command to create 1200 .txt files. I am using this, but it is not working.

touch `seq 1 1200`.txt

Regards,

my machine don't have seq command .. Hence an alternate way ..

$ i=1; while [ $i -le 1200 ]; do touch ${i}.txt ; i=$((i+1)) ; done

Try

touch `seq -f%g.txt 1 1200`

use while loop

i=0
while [[ $i -lt 1200 ]]
do
  touch ${i}.txt
  i=`expr $i + 1`
done

It works on RH4 , let me know if it works for you

$ bash 
$ touch {1..10}.txt
$ ls -lrt *.txt

Think about what that would become.

touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ... .txt

Not what you wanted at all.
