bash for loop to run ruby scripts

Question

I'm trying to run several ruby scripts from the command line. Here is my code so far:

for i in {1..59}; do $("ruby sample$i.rb"); sleep 10; done

The purpose is to test all these scripts quickly, but I'm getting this error:

ruby sample1.rb: command not found

I have tried all the solutions listed here but no luck.

What should I do to run these scripts?

Answer 1

why complicate ?

 for i in {1..59}; do ruby sample$i.rb; sleep 10; done

when you run : $("ruby sample$i.rb")

this means, run a command named "ruby sample1.rb" , then run output as command.
