Copying files multiple times increasing sequentially
I am looking for the easiest way to copy a set of files 1000 times and increment sequentially.

I want to copy these 2 files:
Scenario.1.1.ud
Scenario.1.2.ud

So that it creates the following:
Scenario.2.1.ud
Scenario.2.2.ud
Scenario.3.1.ud
Scenario.3.2.ud
..
..
Scenario.1000.1.ud
Scenario.1000.2.ud

Any suggestions? Thanks.

#!/bin/ksh

i=2
file1=Scenario.$i.1.ud
file2=Scenario.$i.2.ud

i=2
while [ $i -le 1000 ];do
file1=Scenario.$i.1.ud
file2=Scenario.$i.2.ud
cp Scenario.1.1.ud $file1
cp Scenario.1.2.ud $file1

i=$(( $i + 1 ))
done

echo " 100 files copied"
