[GTALUG] bash seq question

[Russell Reiter]

It's not often I have to assemble larger numbered documents. I usually use
this little script.

enscript -L1 -F --header-font=Times-Roman12 -b '||$%' -o- < <(for i in
$(seq "$(pdftk "$1" dump_data | grep "Num" | cut -d":" -f2)"); do echo;
done) | ps2pdf - | pdftk "$1" multistamp - output "${1%.pdf}-numbered.pdf"

I tried it on this ..

Linux HECTOR 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

and got this ..

seq: invalid floating point argument:  162

162 pages with no numbers.

Could this be because the pdf's were generated in M$?

Thanks in advance.

Russell
