Assuming:
- you have all your names in a txt file (called bla.txt in the example)
- all names are separated by commas and contain no other "special character" than white space
the following simple script seams a reasonable start point
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Set Input Field Separator to 'comma'
IFS=","
# loop on each field found
for name in `cat ./bla.txt`
do
# strip out white spaces
filename=`echo $name | sed 's/ //g'`
# create the file
touch $filename.txt
done
adapt and enhance to suit your needs.
Good luck
