Background

You've decided to play a game of Civilization IV (the best Civilization game*)! The first

part of playing a game of Civilization is picking which leaders will be in the game. Each

civilization has several leaders to choose from, and it's hard for you to decide, so you turn to

MATLAB to help you choose!

FunctionDescription

You will be provided a text file that contains which leaders you pick from each

civilization. Each line will be of the format 'civilization.txt:leader' . Each civilization file

will be separated into the leaders you can pick, where each leader has a description paragraph.

In each file, the first line will be the name of one of the leaders, followed by a colon. The

paragraph associated with that leader will follow. Eventually, another leader's paragraph will

occur, again with a colon, and then the paragraph related to that leader.

For each line in the input file, open the text file specified to the left of the colon. Find the

leader whose name is to the right in that text file, and then copy the leader name and the

associated paragraph into a new text file with '_leaders' appended to the name of the input text

file.

Notes

Each leader's name will be one word.

The descriptions will not contain colons

There should be no extra new lines between paragraphs or at the end in the output file.
