### B.36.2 Examples

    stilts tloop COUNTER 0 1000

  Generates a table with a single column, named `COUNTER`, and a thousand rows. The value in the first row is 0 and in the last row is 999. The table is written to standard output.

    stilts tloop time 0 10 0.25 out=times.csv

  Generates a table with one column `time` counting from 0 to 9.75 in steps of 0.25. Output is to a CSV file. The parameters here are specified in order, but could equivalently be given by name: "`stilts tloop var=time start=0 end=10 step=0.26`".

    stilts tloop x start=1 end=11 ocmd='addcol x2 x*x' ocmd='addcol x3 x*x*x'
                 ocmd='stats name sum'

  Generates a table with a column `x` running from 1 to 10 inclusive. The `addcol` filters then append two further columns, giving the squares and cubes of these values respectively, giving a table of 10 rows and 3 columns. Finally this table is piped through a `stats` filter to calculate the sums of the values, squares and cubes in this range.
