Program Requirements
- Continually prompt the user to enter a player's name or portion thereof (should not have to re-run program for each search). Use "ZZZ" to exit program.
- Ask the user if s/he wishes to see the corresponding target (T/t) or team name (M/m); reject any other input with an error message ("Please enter only T or M.") and re-prompt user.
- Search only the player field of the data file displaying the all occurrences of matching player(s) and corresponding target or team name.
- E.g. A search for the target of "Ken", should not display any information about "Sandeep". i.e. the search must be restricted to the information in the player column.
- Use the sample data file from the course website.
- If no player is found, your program should output a short message to the effect "No such player."
- If you create any temporary files, they must be cleaned up by your program before it terminates.
Sample execution (not exhaustive testing):
$ search
Player name? ohn
See target (T/t) or team name (M/m)? j
Please enter only T or M.
See target (T/t) or team name (M/m)? t
