How can I use shell scripting to append a range of IPs to a file?

Yes you can. echo "192.168.0.1/24" >> /path/to/file. – mailq Nov 10 '11 at 19:13

Oh, or do you need it that way? echo 192.168.0.{0..255} >> /path/to/file – mailq Nov 10 '11 at 19:25

Please, classes don't exist from eons. You are referring to a /24. – Juaco Nov 10 '11 at 19:30

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Try something like:

#!/bin/bash

for i in {0..255}
do
    echo 192.168.0.$i >>outfile.txt
done

The >> operator is used to append to a file.

Thank you so much!! ps.: I know I should have found it out by myself, but I know next to nothing about shell scripting, and was (am) dead tired after adding the whole /24 range by hand in a web console (Apache/Tomcat). I'll try not to ask stupid questions next time! – neotobe Nov 10 '11 at 22:07
