1. Thank you so much, that is immediately helpful!
Didn't know while loops in UNIX.
2. The copying was intended, since I need a changed version of the template.fsf in each folder (which is then run later in the script). This is the only way I know so far of doing this.
3. Yeah, the template.fsf is a text file generated by FSL specifying details of a fMRI analysis, and I'm hoping to edit it in the loop. The stimruns.txt file for each subject only contains a column vector of numbers I want to loop over within a folder of a subject, and the subjlist.txt a column vector of foldernames (subject folders) I want to loop over.

message is from you, the from portion will read where user is the user the message was sent to. This happens when you receive a copy of a
letter you sent.

Options

Print a brief help message summarizing the options.
Number the messages using the same numbering scheme used by
Very quiet mode.
Only error messages are produced. This option is useful in shell scripts, where only the success or failure of the
program is important, and output is not desired.
Quiet mode. Output only a one-line summary for each mailbox or folder.
Add a summary of the number of messages by message status in each
mailbox or folder. To get the summary only, use this with the option. The summary has the form:

one category, for example, only new and unread messages. The values can be abbreviated to their first letters. The
default is all messages.
