You say you want to ADD a counter to the end of the file, but you haven't shown us what is in the file to start with.

You imply that a.txt contains:
Code:
h**p://test.test=Elite#1

but your output shows usrLink instead of h**p:. And if you wanted to add a counter that would seem to be something more like:
Code:
h**p://test.test=Elite#11
h**p://test.test=Elite#12
h**p://test.test=Elite#13

than what you showed us before.

Please explain more clearly what is in a.txt, what you want in your output, and how we are supposed to know when to stop ("etc" with no end point can go on for a LONG time).

Code:
#!/bin/bash

for i in {1..113}; do
 echo "h**p://test.test=Elite#$i" >> ~/Desktop/a.txt;
done
