Writing a loop to process multiple input files by a shell script
I have multiple input files that I want to manipulate using a shell script. The files are called 250.1 through 250.1000 but I only want the script to manipulate 250.300 through 250.1000. Before I was using the following script to manipulate the text files:
for i in 250.*; do
[ "$i" = 'X.txt' ] || awk 'NR==FNR{A[NR]=$6;next}{$6=A[FNR]}1' "$i" 'X.txt' > "X.${i%.txt}"
done
But the script above manipulates all scripts 1 through 1000 whereas I want it to specifically manipulate 300 through 1000. How can I change the script above to do that?

sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm

-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
