Hello, I have just recently begun the move from Java (beginner) to C++ and have found an interestng project I would like to develop which should teach me some great c++ code.
Encrypted Console Journal
- Text File Encryption
- File IO
- Date && Time System Retrieval
- Text File Formatting
- Text File Searching
- Data entry that involves pressing the return key without c++ ending the cin >>
Pseudo Run Through:
- Menu: 1. New Entry, 2. View Entries, 3. Edit Entries, 4. Exit.
1:
User enters journal text, enters a flag to save. System date and time stored and saved at the top of the text file: [System Date][System Time] [Journal Entry Number] [Journal entry...]2:
User is prompted to enter the Date DD/MM/YYYY of the journal they wish to view Text File searches for that date, if it exists, display, else error message and re-prompt.3: **same process as 2** once it is found: some how give the user the ability to edit the text on the screen, then re-save it.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction as to how I could achieve this? How would you approach this project? Biggest problems: Searching, Formatting, Allowing Paragraphs of data to be entered in one go.
Many thanks.
