Convert Parameters Script

This Python script processes a list of parameters from a file and converts them into various formats (JSON, POST HTML, GET HTML, XML, Multipart Form Data) with options for limiting the number of parameters per output file and specifying output directories.

---

Features

1. Converts parameters into:
   • JSON format (e.g., {"email": "emailnull'"}).
   • POST HTML format (e.g., email=emailnull'&type=typenull').
   • GET HTML format (e.g., email=null&type=null).
   • XML format (e.g., <parameters>\n <email>emailnull</email>\n</parameters>).
   • Multipart Form Data format (e.g., --boundary\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="email"\n\nemailnull\n--boundary--).
2. Allows limiting the number of parameters per output file.
3. Creates the necessary output directories if they do not exist.
4. Handles errors gracefully, such as missing files or invalid inputs.
