If you're doing ls | grep | awk | sed | kitchen | sink, you can probably just do it all in awk and save yourself a lot of performance.

That's also a useless use of backticks. It's almost always better to use a while-read loop if possible.

Code:
ls -rt | while read i
do
        for j in {1..29} #29 times the files should be copied
        do
                echo "copying $i file to $outputdir"
                cp $i $HOME/$outputdir/$i.$j.inp #copy each file as filename.$j.inp
        done
done

puppet-doc

PUPPET-DOC(8)							   Puppet manual						     PUPPET-DOC(8)

NAME

       puppet-doc - Generate Puppet documentation and references

SYNOPSIS

       Generates a reference for all Puppet types. Largely meant for internal Puppet Labs use.

USAGE

       puppet  doc  [-a|--all]	[-h|--help]  [-o|--outputdir  rdoc-outputdir] [-m|--mode text|pdf|rdoc] [-r|--reference reference-name] [--charset
       charset] [manifest-file]

DESCRIPTION

       If mode is not 'rdoc', then this command generates a Markdown document describing all installed Puppet types or all allowable arguments	to
       puppet  executables.  It  is largely meant for internal use and is used to generate the reference document available on the Puppet Labs web
       site.

       In 'rdoc' mode, this command generates an html RDoc hierarchy describing the manifests that are in 'manifestdir' and 'modulepath'  configu-
       ration directives. The generated documentation directory is doc by default but can be changed with the 'outputdir' option.

       If the command is run with the name of a manifest file as an argument, puppet doc will output a single manifest's documentation on stdout.

OPTIONS

       --all  Output the docs for all of the reference types. In 'rdoc' mode, this also outputs documentation for all resources.

       --help Print this help message

       --outputdir
	      Used only in 'rdoc' mode. The directory to which the rdoc output should be written.

       --mode Determine  the  output mode. Valid modes are 'text', 'pdf' and 'rdoc'. The 'pdf' mode creates PDF formatted files in the /tmp direc-
	      tory. The default mode is 'text'. In 'rdoc' mode you must provide 'manifests-path'

       --reference
	      Build a particular reference. Get a list of references by running 'puppet doc --list'.

       --charset
	      Used only in 'rdoc' mode. It sets the charset used in the html files produced.

       --manifestdir
	      Used only in 'rdoc' mode. The directory to scan for stand-alone manifests. If not supplied, puppet doc will use the manifestdir from
	      puppet.conf.

       --modulepath
	      Used only in 'rdoc' mode. The directory or directories to scan for modules. If not supplied, puppet doc will use the modulepath from
	      puppet.conf.

       --environment
	      Used only in 'rdoc' mode. The configuration environment from which to read the modulepath and  manifestdir  settings,  when  reading
	      said settings from puppet.conf. Due to a known bug, this option is not currently effective.

EXAMPLE

       $ puppet doc -r type > /tmp/type_reference.markdown

       or

	   $ puppet doc --outputdir /tmp/rdoc --mode rdoc /path/to/manifests

       or

	   $ puppet doc /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

       or

	   $ puppet doc -m pdf -r configuration
