Copying a file to multiple other files using a text file as input
Hello,

I have a file called COMPLIST as follows that contains 4 digit numbers.
Code:
0002
0003
0010
0013
0015
0016
0022
0023
0024
0025
0027
0030
0031
0032
0033
0035
0038
0041
0044
0046
0051
0052
0053
0054
0056
0057
0058
0062
0066
0068
0076

I want to use a loop to copy a file called comp to create new files using the same 4 digit files names from the COMPLIST text file..if that makes sense..

I don't fancy doing 100's of cp commands (cp comp 0002 ;cp comp 0003) etc..

I can then manage things easier using my COMPLIST instead of doing manual copies.

Whats the best way to do it ?

wsreg_get_display_name

wsreg_add_display_name(3WSREG)			    Product Install Registry Library Functions			    wsreg_add_display_name(3WSREG)

NAME

       wsreg_add_display_name, wsreg_remove_display_name, wsreg_get_display_name, wsreg_get_display_languages - add, remove, or return a localized
       display name

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag ...]  file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
       #include <wsreg.h>

       int wsreg_add_display_name(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *language, const char *display_name);

       int wsreg_remove_display_name(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *language);

       char *wsreg_get_display_name(const Wsreg_component *comp, const char *language);

       char  **wsreg_get_display_languages(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       For each of these functions, the comp argument specifies the component on which these functions operate. The language argument is  the  ISO
       639 language code identifying a particular display name associated with the specified component.

       The wsreg_add_display_name() function adds the display name specified by display_name to the component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_remove_display_name() function removes a display name from the component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_get_display_name() function returns a display name from the component specified by comp.

       The  wsreg_get_display_languages() returns the ISO 639 language codes for which display names are available from the component specified by
       comp.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_add_display_name() function returns a non-zero value if the display name was set correctly; otherwise 0 is returned.

       The wsreg_remove_display_name() function returns a non-zero value if the display name was removed; otherwise 0 is returned.

       The wsreg_get_display_name() function returns the display name from the specified component if the component has a  display  name  for  the
       specified language code. Otherwise, NULL is returned.  The caller must not free the resulting display name.

       The  wsreg_get_display_languages() function returns a null-terminated array of ISO 639 language codes for which display names have been set
       into the specified component.  If no display names have been set, NULL is returned.  It is  the	caller's  responsibility  to  release  the
       resulting array, but not the contents of the array.
