My $.02: I think that outfile.[number_here] is not a good convention, since the extension (whatever you put after the dot) means the file type, and here the file type is always the same (ASCII text). I think it should be something like:
outfile_[number].txt
It should look like this:
outfile_1.txt
outfile_2.txt
outfile_3.txt
Anyway, IANAP (I am not a programmer) I'm just an end user and I'm stating this from a user consistency view point. If I have two mp3 files (xsongpart1 and xsongpart2) I would name them as part1.mp3 and part2.mp3 and NOT xsong.1 and xsong.2
