Hello Python enthusiasts! Let's expand our repository with a Python program that demonstrates basic file manipulation operations. This beginner-friendly task involves reading from and writing to text files, allowing users to create, read, update, and delete entries in a simple database file. This task will showcase file handling, loops, and conditional statements in Python.
Tasks:
- Create a Python program that reads data from a text file (
database.txt) if it exists.
- Allow users to view existing entries, add new entries, update existing entries, and delete entries.
- Implement user-friendly menus and prompts for each operation.
- Ensure the program handles errors gracefully, such as invalid file access or incorrect user inputs.
- Save the updated data back to the text file after each operation.
Guidelines:
- Use Python 3.x for the program.
- Utilize file handling functions (
open, read, write, close) to manipulate the database file.
- Include comments in your code to explain the logic and functionality.
- Test the program thoroughly, including edge cases and error scenarios.
Example:
Welcome to the Basic File Manipulation Program!
1. View Entries
2. Add Entry
3. Update Entry
4. Delete Entry
5. Exit
Select an option: 2
Enter name: John Doe
Enter age: 30
