Writing a for loop that processes multiple input files
I would like to write a for loop that does the following:
I have a file called X.txt and other files called 1.txt,2.txt, .....,1000.txt.
I want to substitute the 6th column of the file X.txt with 1.txt and store the output as X.1. Then I want to do the same with X.txt and 2.txt and store the output as X.2 and so on all the way up to 1000.txt.
How do I write a for loop that achieves that? Thank you!

file-copy ... -erase).
The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.
ARGUMENTS
source-ecaccess-file
The source ECaccess File name.
target-ecaccess-file
The target ECaccess File name.
OPTIONS
-version
Display version number and exits.
-help Print a brief help message and exits.
-manual Prints the manual page and exits.
-debug Display the SOAP messages exchanged.
EXAMPLES
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt
Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt
Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
