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.

im guessing that FILENAME is the name of my file with numbers in it. And the file is the output? I seem to be getting an error saying something about it not being able to open "file".
Apply the same that above. Substitute file for your .txt
