Progress on my Program(Part 2)
While I have been able to make two of the major functions of my program work very well there is still a fair amount for me to be working on before this program is complete. The first major thing that I need to work on is finding a solution to a problem that has arisen with my write function. While adding new entries to the end of the text file works perfectly, I run into the issue when I try and write anything to the middle of the file. One example of when the program would be doing this is when updating the password stored under an entry.
After I solve that issue the next two things will become my next concern. These are the delete function of the program and improving the overall user interface. With the interface I want to make it clearer to the user what commands need to be entered in order to cause certain results. It will also include making sure that the program runs smoothly without any unexpected errors appearing.
The final things that I will need to work on in the coming weeks won't be a focus of mine until I have the basic functions of my program coded(New entry, Edit entry, Delete entry and viewing an entry's password) and my current problem solved. These things that will be last to be worked out will be encrypting the entry names and passwords that are stored, and making the program be able to be started up from a desktop icon as opposed to typing code into the command prompt to achieve the same goal.

Like I mentioned in your other post, I think it's a great idea that you broke up this long post into two workable posts. But remember--they're still stand-alone posts, which means that you should clarify the programming project in the first sentence (as if a reader has only seen this post and not the other ones). What will the program do? How long has this program taken you in working hours?
