Output files

[hayesall]

Present implementation appends facts, blocks, sentences, etc. to files in the user's current directory.

Ideally there should be an output flag (-o) with which users may specify where these should be written to.

If -o is specified, should all writing be done to that file regardless of whether it's a fact, block, sentence, etc?

[hayesall]

Currently this outputs four files (see parse.py)

I think a -o flag would be helpful for pre-pending a path, for example: -o financial_documents/ would write financial_documents/facts.txt, financial_documents/blockIDs.txt, etc.

@Swixx do you think separate output flags for each file would be more useful?

[adamjsawicki]

No, I think that overcomplicates things without a good use case, but I'm willing to be convinced.

[hayesall]

100% agree. I think your solution in #21 is on the right track!

I can imagine some cases where we include/exclude specific output files, but this seems like a premature optimization.
