What is the shortest command to print a to z one per line in bash?
The printf
command can be used to print a to z one per line in a slightly shorter way:
printf '%s\n' {a..z}
This command uses the %s
format specifier to print each character and the \n
to print a newline after each character. It still uses brace expansion like the previous command, but it eliminates the need for a loop.
