Find the names of your colleagues from command line

nameof

A simple and handy tool to find the name of a student from command line using their Institute ID

What can it do?

This is a command line tool whch can give you the name of any student from your institute by their institute ID , only you have to change the data of "database.txt" file according to the data of your institute, it has currently data of the batch of 2018-2022 of IIIT Vadodara.

Why I built it?

Considering the strength of our batch and the fact that almost every academic activity involves our ID's, it sometimes becomes difficult to identify and find people by their ID's. Hence I've built this command line tool to find names from ID.
