Introduction

Ever face issues at your job or any project that you are working on, where you need to generate thousands of lines of data, like population an excel sheet, populating an existing database, creating files used by other programs for testing. Stuff that requires hardwork. Yeah I've been there, because we are Smart-Workers, Not Hard-Workers. And so, we start working on a batch script, thinking of how to automate that data creation.
