Ruby file creation script

file_create.rb

=begin

first edition: 11/15/2011

I created this script in order to help me create files with the same extension quickly. It's not too powerful, but gets
the job done and can be somewhat customized to suit the needs of the user (granted if they can code in ruby)

Hope it helps!

=end

puts "This is a quick and dirty ruby script to create files quickly in the present working directory"
puts "How many files do you want to create?"
file_count = gets.chomp().to_i

puts "what is the name of the file? For example, the 'file' in file.doc."
name = gets.chomp()

puts "what is the extension of the files? Sorry, it can only be one extension type (eg .doc)."
file_extension = gets.chomp()

for i in 1..file_count
  filename = "#{name}#{i}#{file_extension}"
  file = File.open(filename, 'a')
  file.write(filename)
  file.close()
  puts "#{filename} was created"
end
