@pixx @egallager we golfin'?

seq 26 |xargs -I{} sh -c 'printf "\x$(printf %x $(({} + 96)))\n"'

@pixx @egallager oh, wait, we can awk to save a few more chars. This is almost not terrible, and it does not require bash. It works in every shell I tested (csh and dash, which is a minimalist mostly POSIX shell, in addition to bash), while the nice `echo {a..z}` only works in bash.

seq 26 | awk '{ printf "%c\n", $1 + 96 }'

@swelljoe @egallager

yea, that's better. Realized bash printf was garbage, forgot awk's is good

[swelljoe@mas.to]

@pixx @egallager yeah, I was cussing about bash printf the whole time. But, I cuss about it all the time because you can't pipe to it without xargs, as well.
