I need the right syntax to copy file.jpg 100 times with one command so to get
100 files named file1.jpg, file2.jpg, ..., file100.jpg.

Can anybody suggest how to achieve that?

<snip>
$ seq 1 100 | sed "s/^\(.*\)$/file\1.jpg/" |xargs -n1 cp file.jpg


And even shorter:

$ seq -w 1 1 10 | xargs -i -n1 cp file.jpg file{}.jpg
