Multiple output files from one input file

Question

I'm trying to take this file input, which is a multi-file input.

<input name="userfile[]" type="file" multiple=""/>

And after my files are selected, i want to put them into separate individual file inputs via javascript. Is this possible?

What is the business or programming problem you are trying to solve? Perhaps there is a different coding approach that we could help you with if you explain what you need to do. — Jordan

Did you find a way to do this? Some other workaround? I am faced with the same issue. — ic3b3rg

In practice, no. Every modern browser will prevent you from programmatically populating a file input.
