An Address Book Manager written in Rust

Address Book Manager

This is a small program I wrote in Rust that handles the addresses written in a .ab-file and lets you modify them. When closing the program, it automatically saves all the addresses to the file.

Inserting/Creating addresses

To insert/create a new Address you call one of the following commands: 1, add, create and then type the new address in one line in the following format: (Name;Street;Postcode;City;Country). The Brackets are optional and you may leave some values blank. The ID will be calculated automatically based on the other Addresses. The highest ID will be found and increased by 1. That will be the new ID.

Deleting Addresses

To delete an existing address you call one of these commands: 3,delete and then type the ID of the Address you want to delete.

Loading from file

You can call the function to reload from the Address Book file (.ab) with one of these commands: 5, reload. In that case the program will be looking for a file called "addr_book.ab". When found it will load the addresses found in the file.

Saving to file

The Address Book List is saved as soon as you exit the program. You can exit the program traditionally by using one of the following commands: 6, quit, exit.
