operations on records into files without DB

[visitchandu]

hi i want a programe that how to Write a small record management application for a school. Tasks will be Add Record, Edit Record, Delete Record, List Records. Each Record contains: Name(max 100 char), Age, Notes(No Maximum Limit). No database should be used. All data must be stored in one or two files. Listing records should print the names of the users in alphabetical order. And the important thing is, total file should not be re-written for every add/delete operation.
please provide the solution

You can use MS Excel instead of Access.But one thing,You should be familiar in java.io package.

You can write this to a file in xml format, and then read it back in later on.

<record>
  <name>visitchandu</name>
  <age>0</age>
  <notes>what have you done?</notes>
</record>

And the important thing is, total file should not be re-written for every add/delete operation.

You can have it save the file only on exit or at the user's whims.

Don't you think you should at least give it a go yourself. and then ask specific questions when you hit a problem?

But if you insist, my rates aren't that outrageous...

thank you

No...thank you!
