gsed solution:
A gun extension ('e' command) is used, so to run the following shell
script correctly you have to use gnu sed.
----filenamegenerater
# !/bin/bash
sed 's/.*/touch `seq -f'${1}'_%g 1 &`/;e' $1
----end
invoke:
./filenamegenerater 07122005.bak

As a complement, here is gawk solution (I guess this can work with
other awk clone as well):
gawk '{for (i=1;i<=$0;i++) printf ""> FILENAME"_"i".bak"}' 07122005.bak
