The tool 'yes' can be used to write an infinite stream of strings
(the default being 'y') to standard output, so if your program needed
only a sequence of a fixed string such as 'y', you could do

I am trying to solve a bash scripting problem, but I cannot figure it
out.
I frequently need to execute a command of the form:
for x in {A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z); do
