File structure is a very essential part of a computer. Structure is the ‘tree' format that is used by computers. There is usually one main folder and many sub-folders and sub-sub-folders within that one main folder. These folder structures are essential in that some programs and applications have a specific file path saved so they can find a file whenever it is needed. This means that keeping that file structure intact is very important to ensuring the functionality of various programs on the computer. Making these file structures is a critical piece of computer programming. Proper file organization and set up can be the difference between a very fluid and effective piece of software and software that crashes every few minutes. Sometimes it is necessary to produce many individual files to put within a folder tree. Producing many files is a very extended process, as many computer users understand. The most fundamental method of creating many files is to simply open many blank files and add whatever content you need and title the files correctly. Even though method has worked for many users over the years, need has exploded to where hundreds of files may need to be created. Each file may be specific to recording data from a precise piece of equipment or perhaps hundreds of job folders require a different note put within the folder. File creation of this magnitude quickly becomes a slow and tedious process. Luckily, a simpler and faster option does exist. A brief search for ‘Create Multiple Files from Multiple Content' at www.hothotsoftware.com will bring up an amazing program for bulk file formation. This application allows for large numbers of files to be created from a text file with only a few mouse clicks. After opening the program, you will see that the whole program operates within a single window, eliminating any worries of getting lost or confused within the program. The window is a field that exhibits any text files that include the file information you need. Directly below this field is a button marked ‘Add File(s)' which allows files to be added to the program. There is also the capacity for the software to seek out images within a specified folder. Finally, the very bottom of the window has the command to launch the process. As soon as the program begins it will convert your files and display a completion window when the program is done. Before the text files may be added, however, you must initially make the text files to be read by the application. This can be completed by Microsoft Excel. Within Microsoft Excel you can specify file names within one column of the spreadsheet. In the next column over the contents of each file can be entered. This means that if cell A1 reads ‘NFL teams' and cell B1 reads ‘Bengals Eagles Panthers' a file will be created entitled ‘NFL Teams' with the team names within the file. The Excel file must then be stored as a CSV file, which the hothotsoftware program can then extract information from. For more information on this software, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpu9s5mdf0Y. Mass file creation is very possible and quite simple. Clear away the tedious work of creating many files when an Excel file and this software will carry out the work for you.
