Organiser

I need to create a menu that contains the following entries. I am creating a 'text-based' menu driven Electronic Organiser.

1) The Menu:

Menu structure contains these entries:

- Create an entry
- Amend/Delete an entry
- Search for an entry
- Create mobile phone transfer file
- Quit Application

Thanks.... any suggestions on how to do this, would be appreciated greatly.....

What bit are you having trouble with? Post the code you've tried so far, and explain where you're having troubles and someone will help you.

That's the problem, I want to create a personal Electronic Organiser and I am a raw novice in C Programming. I have been learning Programming for around 3 weeks, I don't know which functions I need to use? Obviously printf and scanf functions, but I don't know how to write this code to do this.... I don't want full help, I just want ideas and maybe small parts of code to assist me....

Thanks........

Code:

/* Warning: This code is from memory and untested */
#include <stdio.h>

int menu ( void );
void create_entry ( void ) { puts ( "create entry" ); }
void update_entry ( void ) { puts ( "update/delete entry" ); }
void search_entry ( void ) { puts ( "search entry" ); }
void create_transfer ( void ) { puts ( "create transfer file" ); }

int main ( void )
{
  void (*jump_menu[4]) ( void ) = {
    create_entry,
    update_entry,
    search_entry,
    create_transfer,
  };
  int option;

  while ( ( option = menu() ) != 5 ) {
    if ( option < 1 || option >= 5 ) {
      printf ( "Blah, bad choice\n" );
    }
    else {
      jump_menu[option - 1]();
    }
  }

  return 0;
}

int menu ( void )
{
  int option;

  printf ( "1) Create an entry\n"
          "2) Amend/Delete an entry\n"
          "3) Search for an entry\n"
          "4) Create mobile phone transfer file\n"
          "5) Quit Application\n"
          ":> ");
  scanf ( "%d", &option );

  return option;
}

Or you could search the boards. This question is asked at least once a week.

Function pointer arrays, you meany?! ;) Sorry, got to highlight that one :D But hopefully Socrates will get the jist of what's going on...

Thanks very much for helping me out.... Its appreciated....

>But hopefully Socrates will get the jist of what's going on...
The jist being to search the boards for more suitable code. ;)

Yeah, I know that's a pointer array function. Its cool, heh.... hopefully I'll get all this in the next few months.... I just have to work out how to actually file process a create an entry now into this organiser.... haha.....
