Random Name Generator

Download: https://github.com/hippy2094/codelib/

Creates an XML file containing a list of random names and ages up to the value specified in TOTALCOUNT (line 10).

Requires FreePascal to build and for both firstnames.txt and surnames.txt to be in the same directory.

Building

After installing FreePascal, simply run the following command to build:

# fpc createnameslist.pas

Then execute the created createnameslist[.exe] binary.

Example output (TOTALCOUNT = 3):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<people>
  <person>
    <firstname>Leonard</firstname>
    <surname>Walker</surname>
    <age>68</age>
  </person>
  <person>
    <firstname>Lisa</firstname>
    <surname>Paterson</surname>
    <age>51</age>
  </person>
  <person>
    <firstname>Christopher</firstname>
    <surname>Harris</surname>
    <age>7</age>
  </person>
</people>
