So is that what in part what you're looking for?

this is a part of the whole procedure

Now, I think I am looking for a filetype or some kind of program that will be able to display the below info. I imagine it as a table, but it can be anything.
- it will display an index/list of entries/fields:
1) chemical1
  1.1) chemical2
  1.2) chemical3
  1.3) chemical4
2) chemical5
3) chemical6
etc
- each entry/field will have a specific title (eg chemical1) and "inside" it, a specific file can be stored (pdf, txt, jpg, png files)
- if a field/entry of the index/list (eg. 1.3) has not any file stored, it will be marked as red, which will indicate that it's empty, otherwise, it will be marked as green, which means that it has a file stored in it
- all the files above, will be able to be extracted in a folder and subfolders, according to the list/index

I dont know if EXCEL can do this, I bet AHK can do this, if it is easy, I will try, but is there a ready solution ?

Renegade:

1) chemical1
  1.1) chemical2
  1.2) chemical3
  1.3) chemical4
2) chemical5
3) chemical6

It is the wordlist, a textfile

But why is there a hierarchy in the word file? Isn't it 1 entry per line? Are they indented with a tab or 4 spaces or something? What's the logic there for how it applies to the PDFs? Or is the 1.1, 1.2 stuff irrelevant?

there is some hierarchy and some categorization, but I thought that, for begining, a simple wordlist would be suffice, and afterwards I would add the hierarchy and categories, etc
