Hi Rick, On the basis that this is quite likely something simple that I'm not doing, or the consequence of something I haven't explained clearly enough (as I've very little experience with such things) - These are the files I'm working with: four sets of 124 images each: a_01.jpeg to

It looks like you might be using single quotes and not back-ticks (on the ~ key). This works for me, with the echo in there at least. for i in `seq 1 125`; do j=`printf %06d $i`; echo montage -geometry +4+4 a_$j.jpeg b_$j.jpeg c_$j.jpeg d_$j.jpeg montage$j.jpeg; done -- Felix
