Event Reporter

This is my work through of the Jumpstart Labs Ruby exericse Event Reporter.

The approach I am taking for this is to try some BDD using Cucumber and RSpec.

Command Prompt Instructions

load <filename>

Erase any loaded data and parse the specified file. If no filename is given, default to event_attendees.csv.

help

Output a listing of the available individual commands

help <command>

Output a description of how to use the specific command. For example:

help queue clear
help find

queue count

Output how many records are in the current queue

queue clear

Empty the queue

queue print

Print out a tab-delimited data table with a header row following this format:

  LAST NAME  FIRST NAME  EMAIL  ZIPCODE  CITY  STATE  ADDRESS  PHONE

queue print by <attribute>

Print the data table sorted by the specified attribute like zipcode.

queue save to <filename.csv>

Export the current queue to the specified filename as a CSV. The file should should include data and headers for last name, first name, email, zipcode, city, state, address, and phone number.

find <attribute> <criteria>

Load the queue with all records matching the criteria for the given attribute. Example usages:

• find zipcode 20011
• find last_name Johnson
• find state VA

The comparison should:

• Be insensitive to case, so "Mary" and "mary" would be found in the same search
• Be insensitive to internal whitespace, but not external:
  • "John" and "John " are considered matches
  • "John Paul" and "Johnpaul" are not matches
• Not do substring matches, so a find first_name Mary does not find a record with first name "marybeth"
