Abstract
A target file generation system and method for use by ordinary computer users enable those users to readily generate target files without the requirement that they know the internal layout structures of the target files. The system enables a user to select a template file from a plurality of template files, wherein a template file includes changeable fields associated with corresponding field delimiters and prompting labels, wherein at least two different template files have different quantities of changeable fields. An incomplete software program file containing identifier of variable name locations is accessed. The program file is parsed to locate the variable name locations. Label names obtained from the template file selected by the user are inserted in the variable name locations. The program generates a user interface including inserted label names and user input fields via which the user can provide data corresponding to changeable fields in the template file.
