I'm a newbie myself, and this is probably not the best way.. but you could do, for instance:

cat yourfile yourfile > newfile (to print every line in yourfile twice; cat yourfile yourfile yourfile to print them three times etc.).

But if looping need to occur for large no of times it will not be best suited.Anyhow thanks for your comments

In the same logic as bobylapointe:

~/unix.com$ n=5; { while [ $((n-=1)) -ge 0 ]; do cat file; done;} > newfile

in bash,

for i in {1..5}; do cat filename.txt ; done

While executing ~/unix.com$ n=5; { while [ $((n-=1)) -ge 0 ]; do cat xx; done;} > xxx
i get the following error
Variable syntax
My shell is csh

That's the type of information that should always be included in the original post, especially since most people will provide posix (bourne like) sh solutions.
