}
where AAA is a string like this file.11.txt, file.21.txt, ...
and BBB is a string like this file_0001, file_0002, ...
Is it possible to generate the string AAA and BBB automatically from the variable i?

It's simple in a Bourne-type shell:
Code:
i=1
while [ $i -lt 100 ]
do
case $i in
?) nf=000$i ;;
??) nf=00$i ;;
???) nf=0$i ;;
esac
cp "file.$1.txt" "file_$nf"
done
You'll find it easier to write scripts in a standard shell and much easier to get help.
