Means my_script will execute the script

Please put code inside CODE tags, not QUOTE tags.

script=my_script


No, it assigns the string "my_script" to the variable "script"; that's all it does.

To execute the script, use:
Code:
script

Or:
Code:
./script

Or:
Code:
sh script

This part might be a problem. Every time I would use this script the filename will be different. It could be Sec23p01.txt that I need copies of in sequential order or Sec31p01.txt.

And should this script have an extension of .txt or no extension?

The suffix (it's not an extension) is irrelevant.

To allow the use of other files names, pass them on the command line and use file=$1 in the script:
Code:
## script
file=$1

Command line:
Code:
script FILENAME
