As another poster said, you are looking for a Makefile (see
http://aplawrence.com/Linux/c_compiling_linux.html) , but just as a more
general comment: you mention "goto" but then say "effective loop".

Bash (and all Linux shells) have looping;
http://aplawrence.com/Basics/bash_looping.html might help get you
started with that.
