I have a file named servername_test_LINUX_test_test_2019-04-19.xls
I have to create multiple copies of this file, with the condition that server name should be changed in each file created
e.g.
original file-name:
servername_test_LINUX_test_test_2019-04-19.xls
newly created files names should be like this:
servername_test_LINUX_test_test_2019-04-19.xls

I don't know how we're deterministically determining servername (I'm just iterating through a space delimited list of servernames in $server_list), but here's maybe a skeleton you can work from:
fn='_test_LINUX_test_test_2019-04-19.xls'; for s in $server_list; do cp -a servername$fn $s$fn; done
