i need to write a program that is acting as a simple personal address book with the record of name,email and phone numbers.
The range of function should have:
searching existing records.
adding new records.
deleting existing records.
i need to include the last update date and time of the record in the form of dd-mm-yyyy,hh:mm:ss(it has to be updated by th program automatically) and i don't really know how. Can't someone help me? I'm new to C language. And there is some problem in the delete function, edit function and the file operation.
Below is the code of what my group members and I did so far
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
enum {
MAXLEN=255
};
typedef struct list {
char name[MAXLEN];
char address[MAXLEN];
char phone[MAXLEN];
struct list *next;
} ADDRESS;
void add_to_list (void);
void delete_from_list (void);
void search_name (void);
void list_names (void);
void quit_program (void);
void edit(void);
ADDRESS *hol= NULL;
int main()
{
char input[MAXLEN];
while (1) {
printf ("What you want to do?\n");
printf("a.Search\n");
printf("b.Add\n");
printf("c.Delete\n");
printf("d.Edit\n");
printf("e.Display Option\n");
printf("f.Exit\n");
fgets (input, MAXLEN,stdin);
switch (input[0]) {
case ('a'):
case ('A'):
search_name();
break;
case ('b'):
case ('B'):
add_to_list();
break;
case ('c'):
case ('C'):
delete_from_list();
break;
case ('d'):
case ('D'):
edit();
break;

quit_program();
return (0);
