README

        
Build a command line tool that manages phone books, via the interface below.

Things that should work:

  $ phonebook create hsphonebook.pb

created phonebook hsphonebook.pb in the current directory

  $ phonebook lookup Sarah -b hsphonebook.pb # error message on no such phonebook

  Sarah Ahmed 432 123 4321

  Sarah Apple 509 123 4567

  Sarah Orange 123 456 7890

  $ phonebook add 'John Michael' '123 456 4323' -b hsphonebook.pb # error message on duplicate name    

  $ phonebook change 'John Michael' '234 521 2332' -b hsphonebook.pb # error message on not exist

  $ phonebook remove 'John Michael' -b hsphonebook.pb # error message on not exist

  $ phonebook reverse-lookup '312 432 5432'

You should also write tests. (<--- this is important, it's half of the assignment!)

Optional extra tasks when you're done:

* make lookup the default command

* allow search by partial name - not just beginning of name

* allow `-b phonebook.rb` to occur anywhere in command

* case insensitive search

* make names work without using quotes

add a config file where you can specify a default phone book to use. Add commands to edit this file without having to edit it manually

* implement a sql database backend if you didn't already

* implement a http backend (`phonebook lookup Tom -b 'http://mywebsite/phonebook'` etc.)

* Add tab completion
