Sorry. The number in line one of the file with numbers is the number of times I'd like to print out the manipulation of the strings in line one from the file with the strings. The 'Yeah' is an example of appended text that doesn't appear in the file with strings that I'd like to add to each line of the outfile.
For example if '5' appears in line one of the file with numbers and '2' appears in line 2 of the file with numbers I'd like to print out the modified stings in line one of the file with strings 5 times followed by the modified strings from line 2 two times
File with numbers:
5
2
_____
File with strings:
aa bb
cc dd
_____
Example outfile:
1) bb aa
2) bb aa
3) bb aa
4) bb aa
5) bb aa
1) dd cc
2) dd cc
Thank you.

NAME
strings - find printable strings in an object or binary file
SYNOPSIS
strings [-a | -] [-t format | -o] [-n number | -number] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The strings utility looks for ASCII strings in a binary file. A string is any sequence of 4 or more printing characters ending with a new-
line or a null character.
strings is useful for identifying random object files and many other things.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a | - Look everywhere in the file for strings. If this flag is omitted, strings only looks in the initialized data space
of object files.
-n number | -number Use a number as the minimum string length rather than the default, which is 4.
-o Equivalent to -t d option.
-t format Write each string preceded by its byte offset from the start of the file. The format is dependent on the single
character used as the format option-argument:
d The offset will be written in decimal.
o The offset will be written in octal.
x The offset will be written in hexadecimal.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
file A path name of a regular file to be used as input. If no file operand is specified, the strings utility will read from the stan-
dard input.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of strings: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE,
LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWtoo |

|CSI |Enabled |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Interface Stability |Standard |

NOTES
The algorithm for identifying strings is extremely primitive.
For backwards compatibility, the options -a and - are interchangeable.
