The replacement part itself ( replaceScript.sh script ) is not very hard. The point is that the *ABC scripts will be running multiple times, and after their first change through the replacement script, there won't be any more tags @..@ left in them ( or am I missing something here ? ), and you need to change those values back again in the future.
So how are you planning to rechange the new values ( other,1001,20,...) to the old tag values @..@, for the next run ?
Are the variable names VAR_MAN_NAME, VAR_PORT_NUM,..., the same in all *ABC scripts ? If so, you can replace their values based on their unique names in all the files.
Another way, you might use their same record number ( NR ) in all the files, if they are in the same position.
I think you need to provide more details about the unique properties of these variables.
I didn't explain this part very well.
The ABC scripts I have in a separate directory. What I'm going to do is copy all those ABC scripts to a different directory along with the replace.sh script. Then I'll run the replace script. So I'll still have the originals untouched, and then the new ones are what I'll use for that. Then I can do the same thing with the original ABC scripts, whenever I need to replace the @...@ tokens with something else.
Edit:
to add to that, the name of the scripts are always going to be static, and won't change, that's why I just want to copy them to a temp directory, run the script, and then I can do what I need to with them. No need to rename the files or anything like that.

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
