law-firm-record-management-system ⚖️

This is a repository which contains my File Structures Mini Project for the File Structures Laboratory With Mini Project in C++.

It has minimal features and implements the following simple methods:

• read_data() - reads the lawyer's data to be stored from the user.
• pack() - packs the lawyer's data into a string to be stored in the text file.
• write_to_file() - writes the packed data into a text file.
• create_index() - opens a text file which may contain previously entered lawyer details. Creates an index to access them in memory. If the file doesn't contain any lines, it is closed.
• remove() - removes the record from the index and subsequently the file.
• search() - searches the index for the record and retrieves it using the index.
• search_index() - basic implementation of binary search.
• extract_lawyer() - extracts the lawyer name from the packed record
• sort_index() - sorts the index based on the lawyer name.
• disp() - a small method to display all the lawyers and the addresses in the record. Not to be implemented in an professional version of app.
• unpack() - method to extract all the fields from a record separated using a delimiter.
• modify() - method to change a particular field in a record entry.

Requirements

To add a little bit of flair to it, I made use of figlet to have a CLI banner. 😀
Install it using $ sudo apt install figlet
