Hey, I'd probably go for something like:
for ((i=1; i<...; i++)); do echo $i 0 | g_energy ...; done Note the additional 0 to make g_energy exit. The (( )) has been in bash for ages, so that shouldn't be a problem. I notice that in the working construct you used 'traj_x.edr', while in the earlier ones, you used 'traj_${i}.edr'. If you try to extract all energy terms from a single .edr file, you can also use echo $(seq 1321) 0 | g_energy -f traj_x.edr -o stuff.xvg and then parse the columns out of the .xvg file.
