Code:
for i in [1,2,3];
do
  cat ~/Downloads/Project/p0s0n15.tcl>>~/Downloads/Project/p0s0n15_$i.tcl;
  ./setdest -n 15 -p 0 -M 5 -t 100 -x 500 -y 500 >>~/Downloads/Project/p0s0n15_$i.tcl;
  cat ~/Downloads/Project/end>>~/Downloads/Project/p0s0n15_$i.tcl;
done

where i am trying to create a batch file to automatically create 3 files with the following namesSmilie0s0n15_1.tcl,p0s0n15_2.tcl,p0s0n15_3.tcl.

something like this:

1.
Code:
sed -i 's/God/GOD/g' file*

2.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for (( i=1; i<=4; i++ ))
do
echo hello"$i" > "file""$i"
done
