[Nolug] Bash question

Hello list,

In a Bash script, I have something like so:

VAR="$1"

CONNECT=0

        for i in {A..$VAR}

        do

                ((CONNECT++))

        done

I call the script like so:

./script.sh C

The above spits out 1 regardless of what letter I use.

My question is, how do I use a variable inside of a brace expansion?

If I simply did “for I in {A..C} …etc” $CONNECT would equal 3.

Thanks.

Dave
