Why won't the for loop execute for more than 4 iterations?

In the following script, the for loop only outputs till unph4. I tried to write the value of $coils directly but doesn't work as well. I tried other iteration values to see the maximum I am getting is 9 (does the iteration number have to be a single digit?)



coil=34;

bash_command = sprintf(['for ph in all/ph[1-$coil].niin' ...
'don' ...
' base=`basename $ph`;n' ...
' dir=`dirname $ph`;n' ...
' mag=$dir/"mag"$base:2;n' ...
' unph="unph"$base:2;n' ...
' prelude -a $mag -p $ph -u $unph -n 12&n' ...
'donen' ...
'waitn' ...
'gunzip -f unph*.gzn']);

unix(bash_command);

          Because all/ph[1-34].nii matches at most 4 files: all/ph1.nii, all/ph2.nii, all/ph3.nii, and all/ph4.nii.



          In shell patterns, a construction of the form [char1-char2] matches the characters which sort between char1 and char2; so [1-34] matchs 1, 2, 3 and 4.



          You may want to change the for loop to



          for i in $(seq 1 $coil)
          do
          ph=all/ph$i.nii
          ...
          done

          • Thank you. However, it is still not working. I have files from all/ph1.nii to all/ph34.nii. I am getting the error 'Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.' Not sure what that means. Can you please suggest anything else?

          • It is working -- that's an error message from your application prelude. It has nothing to do with the shell, or with Linux. I cannot possibly know what your application does, and what parameters and data it expects; you may want to ask on a specialized forum dedicated to the specific application.
