need shell script to copy 1.gif to 1-100.gif
 
Need to copy a blank .gif file called 1.gif to 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif etc up to a 100.gif.

Could someone provide me with a script to achieve that as I really don't want to do it manually.

Thanks,

man seq
man xargs
leads to
seq 1 100|xargs -iN cp blank.gif N.gif

Does the following do what you want?
Code:
#!/bin/bash

for i in $(seq -w 2 100);  do
  cp 1.gif $i.gif
done

Almost there but it actually makes em 001.gif, 002.gif

I don't want the zeroes in front of em cause the links wouldn't work.

Thanks.

This one worked btw

seq 1 100|xargs -iN cp blank.gif N.gif

Thanks for your help guys!

If you read man seq you see that's because of -w (equal width).

Quality counts, speed doesn't IMHO.

eg:
for i in `seq 1 10`; do cp t.gif $i.gif; done
