**Project Explanation:**

_To give perspective to specific functionality request or feature:_  
Streamline initial directory hierarchy creation with individual empty files named directly from original document chapters and subsections for future editing of content derived from a PDF based manual being migrated to html.

**Given:**

- Workspace Operating Environment MacOS
- Alpha numeric text file
- 5,000 records (_not really but give perspective)_ - one field per record

* * *

**Goal:**

Create .html suffixed “empty” file by automated process for each record in given single field list  
“Empty File” = **still containing basic html framework** code and or master template base page code.

* * *

**Ideas for Solution ?:**  
Initial guess avenues to pursue are:

**Wouldn’t it be cool if Pinegrow had this type of functionality built in or does it ?**

- Terminal commands
- Mac Finder automator script
- Commercial Utility application
- Other commercial code editors with that export functionality

**Skills background** :

Previous life… Adobe Golive for rapid visual layout and also site files management , BBedit for direct code editing , Miva Merchant server side application store and template code integration  
Now I’m… back… smh

@Barrett the easiest solution seams to be some kind of shell script that would do that outside of PG.
