Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copy 1 file 5000 times and Rename each +1 Post 302356075 by Phil_FL on Thursday 24th of September 2009 12:29:25 PM

Code:
n=1
while [ $n -le 5000 ]
do
        cp a.txt ../a$n.txt
        n=$(( n+1 ))
done

../a$n.txt will copy on the parent directory where the script is executed, put whatever you want as a full path for instance.
