Hi everyone, I am trying to get this code to work, but not getting the right results. It is like the sample1.txt is not being read for me to convert it to XML any time i run it my XML does not fill in the information, First_Name, Last_Name ect.
Thank you.

—Example of Input RUN— Mine does not do this i can type in any .txt it does not check.
— Welcome to Bolyard’s XML Converter —
Enter the input filename: blah.txt
WARNING: Cannot open blah.txt
Enter the input filename: sample1.txt
Enter the output filename: blah.txt
WARNING: blah.txt is not an XML filename
Enter the output filename: .xml
WARNING: .xml is not an XML filename
Enter the output filename: data.xml
Conversion complete. Data written to data.xml
—XML output—
My XML output “BLUE”, I told the code to say null for trouple shooting, but i can get the real information inside of it.
