How to make multiple copies?

At work I have to create multiple copies of a file all the time.
Example: I have a file called Sec30p01.txt
I need thirty of these, then I edit one line in each to make 30 different control files.
So I end up with Sec30p02.txt, Sec30p03.txt and so on up to 30
Currently I copy the first file thirty times, then I go in each file one by one using vi and edit one line in each.
Is there a way I can make the thirty files in one command using some kind of script?

Thanks

mkdb - create a new GNATS database SYNOPSIS
mkdb databasename DESCRIPTION
Looks up databasename in the GNATS databases file and creates a database in the location specified there. mkdb creates the directory and populates it with a set of default files copied from the /usr/share/gnats/defaults directory. Note the implications of this: an entry in databases must be created before mkdb is run. The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default gnats. OPTIONS
