copy and rename the existing directory using BASH script
 

Hi Guys,

i am trying to create a script to copy a single existing directory to multiple copies and rename those copies sequentially in bash script.

for e.g.

my existing directory is Itr1_b1_w1_130 and i want to make multiple copies of this directory and this should be renamed as Itr2_b1_w1_130, Itr3_b1_w1_130....Itr40_b1_w1_130.

I know i have to use the for loop to get this work.

Any help or clues to get this work done would be really helpful.Appreciate your help.

Thanks

p.s i also posted this in LINUX-newbie forum too.
