That's not too hard, but it's much more fiddly in C than in any
scripting language I can think of. Why do you want to do this in C?
The kind of things you hint at doing elsewhere in your post are trivial
in any of the many scripting languages you have available.
Anyway, here's one way:
int vnum = 3;
const char *base = "toolchain", *ext = "sh", *name_fmt = "%s%d.%s";
char name1[snprintf(0, 0, name_fmt, base, vnum, ext) + 1];
int s = snprintf(name1, sizeof name1, name_fmt, base, vnum, ext);
Repeat after vnum += 1;. Whether this is suitable (it's C99) depends in
part on why you using C.

(Your posts will get more helpful replies if they are short and to the
point.)
