A retro app of user profile management (key words: batch file scripting)
This was one of the projects that I made long time ago when I was playing the batch scripting ...
This is a retro user profile management app that first existed at the end of the 19th century! It was developed by Han Zhang in 1895.02.31. Suppose you are an HR of a small company - JMS (you can change any name as you like).
This little app will help you to manage the employee's profile (create, delete, search) in your computer's file system efficiently...
When you first open up the batch file, a directory with your company's name will be created automatically, with 5 departments' folders - Developing, IT, HR, etc. (you can create more by yourself).
Before opening, put this .bat file into your D drive, otherwise you'll need to change the path. You can create a user's profile by inputting relative info (name, age, phone no., department),
a text file will be created and saved in the relative directory of his/her department. You might ask why we don't do that by mouse directly? Because there was no Graphical User Interface in the 19th century! Bazinga! :)
This is how it looks like:
This is your input:
and here are the folders created automatically ...
this is the created user's profile:
Here comes the code:
@ECHO OFF
