New Python Program: Basic File Manipulation

Erstelle file_manipulation.py wie im Issue beschrieben und beginne damit, die erforderlichen Menüoperationen und den database.txt-Workflow zu überprüfen. Führe das Programm mit Python 3 aus und teste manuell das Anzeigen, Hinzufügen, Aktualisieren und Löschen sowie Fälle mit ungültigen Eingaben, fehlender Datei und Dateifehlern. Die Aufgabe ist abgeschlossen, wenn jede Operation funktioniert und die aktualisierten Daten nach jeder Operation gespeichert werden.

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:

2. Add Entry
3. Update Entry
4. Delete Entry
5. Exit

Select an option: 2
Enter name: John Doe
Enter age: 30
