    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!

    puts "what is the name of the file? For example, the 'file' in file.doc."

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

    file = File.open(filename, 'a')
