I am working on a project that is suppost to work with 3 xml files. The program is suppost to ask which file you would like to import. It then makes a new folder in the current directory. The program is supposed to create a new file in the created folder for each record in the xml file. It needs to be scalable so it will work even if more records are added to the xml file. The new files should be named Chappel_R_a1Bx.txt, with x being the number of records. For example, Chappel_R.a1B1 is the file for the first record, Chappel_R_a1B2 is for the second record, etc. I have gotten as far as creating a new directory, but am not sure where to go from there. Also, the program must be able to run on linux command line.
