Closing this now since existing tools can do it quite efficiently. Some more examples: text lines clocking patterns: (pass to tr -d '\n' to remove new lines) 101010... yes 1$'\n'0 111111... yes 1 111000... yes 1$'\n'0 | sed 'p;p' 123456... seq inf binary pattern generation: 010101... tr '\0' 'U' < /dev/zero cheers, Pádraig.
