You can do this. Try Do[ PrintTemporary[ji], {ji, {Range[20], Range[200, 300], 400}} ] or crange = Join[Range[20], Range[200, 300], {400}]; Do[ PrintTemporary[ji], {ji, crange} ] > Second question: I have a lot of line to do in things to do. > should I separate everything with a ; (doesn t seem to work, > or use a procedure or something?) Multiple statements inside a loop have to be separated using ";". As an example, Do[ a = Sin[ji Degree]; b = Cos[ji Degree]; Print[ji, "\t", a, "\t", b], {ji, 0, 90, 45} ] As with any programming language, you'll want to put stuff in Module[]'s as readability diminishes D.
