# Range Option

The range method assigns a range to each template variable. For example, if a template contains variables %i% and %j%, we could assign i=1,2 and j=a,b. This will create four DES (ie produces (i,j)=(1,a), (1,b), (2,a), (2,b)).

For the range method, variables can be assigned a number or a letter (upper or lower case) or a combination of letters and numbers by using a comma to separate entries, and using “..” to specify a sequence. A valid range would be i=1,3..5,7aw,a..c. This is equivalent to i=1,3,4,5,7aw,a,b,c.
