First, your question is confusing. Do you want the results to be like test.txt, or as in XYZ_222_111_YYYYMMDD_1.TXT? They have different outputs, which are you wanting? And what are you writing this program in?

Also, post what you've written, and we can help you with it. But we're not going to write your programs for you.

@TB0ne: He wants the 2nd format, the test.txt is supplying the new values which are being added in to create the new files. Look at where '222' occurs in the 2nd file.


@OP:I agree, show us what you have done so far and we'll help.
