repeat and change 1000 times one word

[amdx64bt]

I have one text file where appears the word "material".
I want to repeat this file 1000 times and in each file replace "material" with one of the filenames of other 1000 files that I have in other folder. How I can do it?

Hi

For the beginning :

for f in *; do
  awk -vf="$f" '{gsub(/material/,f);print}' "$f" > "$f.new"
done

Hi feherke, and thanks.

I still have some problem. I get the 1000 files duplicated with "material" changed to its filenames. But I don't want to duplicate these 1000 files, I only want to duplicate one file, the "scene.rib", 1000 times. And each one of the 1000 duplications of "scene.rib" must have changed "material" by one filenames of the 1000 files.

Hi

I still not understand what you want. Maybe :

for f in *; do
  awk -vf="$f" '{gsub(/material/,f);print}' [red]'scene.rib'[/red] > "$f.new"
done
