Duplicating and changing sh file
Hello,
I have a file named file_1.sh that I want to duplicate into file_2.sh, file_3.sh,..., etc.
I also need to change the text within each file so that it would fit the file name. For example, in file_1.sh there is a command to save some output as 'output_1.txt', and also there is an input range of 1-100. Therefore, file_2.sh should have 'output_2.txt' and a range of 2-101.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.

I doubt you need 100 different scripts. You can probably use the same one over and over by modifying it slightly.

something.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Range of $1 to $2"

The loop:

Code:
for X in `seq 1 100`
do
        ./something.sh $X 101 > file_${X}.txt
done

I think I actually do need to have multiple scripts. Perhaps I didn't explain myself well enough - the input range is actually a batch of image files named image_1.tif, image_2.tif,...,etc. Each script is used to call for some program that analyzes these images, and each time I want to analyze 100 images with a sliding window of 1 (i.e., images 1-100, 2-101,...).
I am using: $(ls image_* | sed -n 1,100p) to select the images, and I want the output of these program to be saved according to the name of the first image in each set (for instance, images 1-100 should produce an output named output1.txt).
Thanks.

And that needs 100 shell scripts why?

Another problem, though -- your images aren't going to sort right. You should have them named image_0001, not image_1, and so forth.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

WINDOW=5

set -- image_*

BATCH=1

while [ "$#" -gt 0 ]
do
        LISTFILES=""
        N=1
        while [ $N -le $WINDOW ]
        do
                LISTFILES="$LISTFILES ${1}"
                shift
                let N=N+1
        done

        echo "Batch $BATCH is $LISTFILES"
        let BATCH=BATCH+1

        set -- $LISTFILES "$@"
        shift
done

Code:
$ ./listfiles.sh
