How can I get my computer to complete this list?


foo/booster/tang_1.xyz

foo/booster/tang_1a.xyz

...

foo/booster/tang_1h.xyz
foo/booster/tang_2.xyz
foo/booster/tang_2a.xyz
foo/booster/tang_2b.xyz
foo/booster/tang_2h.xyz
foo/booster/tang_3.xyz
...

foo/booster/tang_150h.xyz.



----
As you can see, there are two variables:

The number (from 1 to 150)
What comes after the number, which is either some letter from “a” to “h” (e.g. tang_1c.xyz) or nothing (e.g. tang_1.xyz).


What stays the same is everything else:
1. the "foo/booster/tang_" part
2. the ".xyz" part

I’d like the list to be in a simple plaintext file.

Thank you.

what does the list look like before the auto-completion?
do you want to change existing entries, or do you want the script to multiply the string "foo/booster/tang_.xyz" with given additions?
always fro a to h, always from 1 to 150?
seems you're looking at 2 loops inside of each other, the outer from 1 to 150, the inner from a to h.

do you want to do this is in bash?
actually, whichever (scripting) language you choose, show us what you got, we will help you make it better.

I found the answer:
