Terminal Command for certain way of copying files

Hello all, i know how to perform this on windows, but i just seem to figure it out on the mac terminal. What i want to do is take a file and make x number of copies of it all numbered sequentially. For example if i have a file named "file1.png" i want to make copies of it named "file2.png", "file3.png", all the way through file "file1000.png". Anyone have a solution?

The long-hand way is to do "cp file1.png file2.png", "cp file1.png file3.png", etc.

The short-hand way is to do this:

for ((f=2; f<=1000; f++)) ; do cp file1.png file$f.png; done

thanks alot

The terminal on the Mac is a bash shell (actually, bash is an acronym for Bourne-Again SHell - Bourne shell was the original). Anything you want to do there, look up how to do it in bash.
