input.txt

I want to make 3 seprate ouputs such that

toast1.txt

ICH.txt

ICH_SV.txt

I have tried "echo" and "sed 's/k/toast1/g' to replace k, but its not quite working. Please help me out :slight_smile:
Thanks!

$ sed 's/k/toast1/' input.txt
data<-read.table("toast1_file.txt")

Replace with the below sed in the loop and try..
