One minor question while I try to work out all the syntax: the two sets of files for comparison (what I previously referred to as 001.txt and blah1.txt) actually have the same numbering system - since there are hundreds of them - but with a different letter prefix for each set, i.e.,
a001..a300.txt and
b001..b300.txt. I only want the numbers starting with
a to increase without changing
b. Where should I specify/add this prefix?
Sorry for the confusion!

Just tried it.
The search and replace bit works perfectly. It only creates a single new file though, called file02. However, it's a little strange because if I delete this file and run the script again, the replacement is called file03 (instead of file02 again). Hope that makes sense.
Hello pseudo.seppuku,
That's because you haven't run it as a script and when you ran it as a command, variable named
i's value will be there in memory of shell and it will take it from there. When you save this as a script and run this will not happen. As for file names I am still little confuse as you need to show like current_file_name--> new_file_name etc, I hope this helps you.
Thanks,
R. Singh

x2sys_merge
X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt) Generic Mapping Tools X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)
NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables
SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d
DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second
file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This
point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had
to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database.
-A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base.
-M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base.
OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.
EXAMPLES
To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try
x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt
