Overview

This is a simple console-based Inventory Management System in Python that allows you to:

• Add inventory items
• Search inventory by Item_ID, Item_Name, Category, or Supplier_Name
• Delete inventory items
• Update inventory items
• View all inventory IDs, names, or full inventory records

The program maintains an inventory text file (inventory.txt) and creates backups before deletion or update.

2. Validation: Input checks for proper data types.
3. Backup: Automatic backup created before deletion or update.
4. Search: Search inventory by multiple fields.
5. View Options: View only IDs, names, or all inventory details.
