Do i have to make a seperate file for this one, so it opens the numbersfile.txt or? Not sure what im getting myself into Linux
You did not supply the name of your real .txt, so the helper used the name numbersfile.txt as a surrogate of yours. Just substitute this for yours.

Apply the same that above. Substitute file for your .txt
