Script: Slack Find Email Address from User ID

Description:
This script finds the email address associated with a Slack user ID using the Slack API.

Functions:
- Prompt the user for their Slack token file path and user ID.
- Initialize the Slack WebClient.
- Call the `users.info` API method to retrieve user information.
- Extract and display the email address from the user profile.

Usage:
1. Run the script.
2. Enter the path to your Slack token file when prompted.
3. Enter the Slack user ID when prompted.
4. The script will display the email address associated with the provided user ID.

Notes:
- Ensure that the Slack token has the necessary permissions to access user information.
- Handle the Slack token securely and do not expose it in the code.
- Customize the input prompts and error handling as needed for your organization.
