Discussed with Catherine what to do with FDA Trial data and decided to have a dictionary with zip-codes as keys and number of trials occurred in that zipcode as values. Was still attempting to loop through the files without the code having to exist in the same directory as the XML files. Plan to write to excel via tsv, with zip-code as one column and # of occurrence as the other.

Completed code for counting the number of occurrences for each unique zipcode. (currently titled & located: E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\Jeemin_Running_File.py). It has been running for 20+min because of the comprehensive XML data files. Meanwhile started coding to create a dictionary with the keys corresponding to each unique trial ID, mapped to every other information (location, sponsors, phase, drugs ...etc.) (currently titled & located: E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials\Jeemin_Project\Jeemin_FDATrial_as_key_data_ripping.py).
