The range command can help us to generate number ranges.

Syntax

range START END STEP

Arguments

  • START (required) the starting number for this number range
  • END (optional) the last number of this number range. This value will be included in the list.
  • STEP (optional) the value to add to START for each selection. The default is 1.

All arguments can be negative as well.

Generate a number range for multiple selections:

We have three selections like in this setup:

<p>|</p>
<p>|</p>
<p>|</p>

Now, let's open the text pastry command line and enter this command:

range 5 10

We will get this result:

<p>5</p>
<p>6</p>
<p>7</p>

Generate numbers

The range command will behave differently when we have a single selection. To generate numbers, we make sure that we have only one selection:

# Numbers from 27 to 62
|

Now we can open the Text Pastry command line and enter this command:

range 27 62

We will get this result:

# Numbers from 27 to 62
27
28
29
...
60
61
62
