Making 256 files with variables

Hi,

I am really sorry for posting a newbie question here, but I do not have time to start learning shell scripting at the very moment.

My question is how can I write a script what takes a file with a variable number, changes the variable number to a new number and saves the file as a new file. I have 4 variables in one file and I need to change all of them four times.

That means all together I will have 4^4=256 new files and doing it manually just takes too much time.

Thank you in advance,

Mario

PS. If you have time could you explain what different rows do aswell, so I don't have to bother you guys again if I have something new to work with Smilie .
