For loop example:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls ); do
echo item: $i
done
C like for loop:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 10`;
do
echo $i
done
While Example:
#!/bin/bash
COUNTER=0
while [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]; do
echo The counter is $COUNTER
let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
done
Until example:
#!/bin/bash
COUNTER=20
until [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]; do
echo COUNTER $COUNTER
let COUNTER-=1
done
