i'm writing a text art script where i take some input and repeat it, textbook simple.
echo "a script that takes some input and repeats it 100 times"
read -e -p "text input " inputtext
for n in {1..100};
do echo -n "$inputtext"
done
this works well, but how would i go about adding a read input to the for n in {1..100} part?
for n in {1..'$repeats'} doesn't work for sure..
i'm very new to bash scripting.
how do i put variables inside curly brackets in a bash loop?
