This is one place bash's brace expansion is sorely lacking compared to
zsh. In this case you need to use the seq command from coreutils. See
man seq for more info.
In your particular case, you can do
for I in $(seq -w 198); do ... 0$I ; done
seq is more flexible in that it allows arbitrary formatting of the
sequence using printf floating-point format.

Or use a wildcard based match.
namestat.text works, as would name*stat.text
Both are slightly less specific, but if you have other matches which
the seq excludes, you really should look at your nameing patterns.

Or just use one of:
seq -f '%04g' 1 198
printf '%04d\n' {1..198}
namestat.txt (although this might match more files than wanted)

Depends on the measure, most times I have seen this kind of thing, the

won't try to argue that yours is more precise.

Agreed :-)
A pattern like that in real life is likely to be something structured and
*highly* unlikely to have odd file names thrown in.
But like all good sysadmin, I can't resist an opportunity to show off a little
bit :-)

Thank you all for your suggestions. I think think that:
md5sum -c token{a..z}.md5sum and
md5sum -c token*.md5sum are the easiest on this occasion, although Alan's
last two commands are indeed insanely useful! ha! They will be saving me
hours of typing in the future. :)

[gentoo-user] [OT] One line script for md5sum
Hi All, Is there a clever way to enter a string (rather than write a script file) so that md5sum will check a whole series of files in one go and report success or error; I was thinking along the lines of if $value is ... then md5sum -c ..., but my non-existent scripting knowledge won't take me any further. I want it to check a series of files named tokena, tokenb, tokenc, ... , etc. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You are not being very clear about what you want. When you say check, what
does that mean? Do you want to test if the files are OK? Then you would
already have the md5sums so you should use md5sum -c
To generate the sums, just run md5sum filename
In any event, I think you need a fancy for loop. To run the same command on
every file in a directory:
for I in * ; do your command here ; done
for a list of named files:
for I in file1, file2 ; do command ; done
for a list of files with a clear name structure:
for I in a b c d ; do command token${I} ; done
or
for I in $(seq 1 10) ; do command token${I} ; done
The last two are insanely useful. Replace command with whatever you need to
be run over and over

Why not just a simple bash one-liner
for i in token{a..z}; do md5sum -c $i; done
AFAIK the md5sum will report success or failure for each of the
checksum lines in tokena, tokenb, etc.
If this doesn't suit your needs, can you describe in more detail your
desired behaviour?

token* is the best. I also have this useful script in my bashrc.
its just an extended version of this.
[[ $(md5sum file1) == $(md5sum file2) ]]
so you can just give it two files as its argument and it returns 0 if they are
the same. -v for verbose
md5() {
local v x y;
[[ $1 == -v ]] [[ $# == 3 ]] { v=true; shift; }
if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
[[ $v ]] echo Error: need 2 arguments.
return 2
fi
if [[ $v ]]; then
x=$(md5sum $1 ) || return 2
y=$(md5sum $2 ) || return 2
else
{ x=$(md5sum $1 ) ;} /dev/null || return 2
{ y=$(md5sum $2 ) ;} /dev/null || return 2
fi
if [[ $x == $y ]]; then
[[ $v ]] echo Same.
return 0
else
[[ $v ]] echo Different.
return 1
fi
}
