Full Discussion: Replace string and create new file multiple times
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Replace string and create new file multiple times Post 302974096 by pseudo.seppuku on Wednesday 25th of May 2016 02:19:55 PM

Sorry, the first comment (regarding prefixes) was referring to RudiC's script.

I only just started fiddling with Linux recently so that's good to know.

However, what I meant about your script was that it only creates a single new file (file001 with string 001 -> file002 with string 002). I need this done a few hundred times, until file300 with string 300.
