Contact Management System in C
ADVERTISEMENT

This C contact management system project was written in C

programming language and is a console application. This system was
built as a straightforward side project in the Code::Blocks IDE using the
GCC compiler. The Contact Management System console software is a
simple tool with no graphics.

Similar to how contact management works on mobile devices. You can

add, view, edit, search and delete contacts in this project. A file is
maintained for each record that was added or modified. A simple
project for beginners to learn how to create a web project in C is
Contact Management System in C. The entire source code of the C
project will be made available to you, so you can quickly install it on
your computer and start learning how to program in C.

The basis of a contact management system is the idea of creating

personal or organizational records of contacts, adding this data and
updating it. Here, users can add their contact information securely and
quickly. The system makes it easy to keep records of each person. The
entire project was developed using the "C" programming language and
various variables and strings. Consumers will find this little project easy
to use and understand. It is a simple terminal program created in C
without using any visual elements.

About the System

Add new contacts by entering details such as name, phone,

address and email.

Show all contacts: displays a list of information about each

contact from the file where they are stored.

Contacts can be searched using their name and phone number.

Edit Contacts: When adding contacts, you can change the name,
phone number, address and email.

Contacts are deleted by deleting them from the file.

Add new contacts by entering details such as name, phone,

address and email.

Name each contact: includes each contact in the file along with
their individual contact information.

Contacts can be searched using their name and phone number.

Edit Contacts: When adding contacts, you can change the name,
phone number, address and email.

Contacts are deleted by deleting them from the file.

Program Breakdown
 struct contact
{
long ph ;
char name [ 20 ] , add [ 20 ] , email [ 30 ] ;
} list ;

Created a structure for our contact list.

system ( " cls " ) ; / * * * * * * * * Main menu * * * * * * * * * * * /

printf ( " \ n \ t * * * * Welcome to Contact Management System * * *

printf ( " \ n \ n \ n \ t \ t \ t MAIN MENU \ n \ t \ t = = = = = = = = = =\ n

printf ( " Enter the choice : " ) ;
scanf ( " % d " , &ch ) ;

The driver code looks something like above code which will display the
main menu of the contact management system in C having options to
add a new contact, list all contacts, search for contacts, edit a contact,
and delete a contact and exit.
case 1 :
system ( " cls " ) ;
fp = fopen ( " contact . dll " , " a " ) ;
for ( ; ; )
{
fflush ( stdin ) ;
printf ( " To exit enter blank space in the name input \ n Name ( U
scanf ( " % [ ^ \ n ] " , & list . name ) ;
if ( stricmp ( list . name , " " ) = = 0 | | stricmp ( list . name , " " ) =
break ;
fflush ( stdin ) ;
printf ( " Phone : " ) ;
scanf ( " % l d " , & list . ph ) ;
fflush ( stdi ) ;
printf ( " address : " ) ;
scanf ( " % [ ^ \ n ] " , & list . add ) ;
fflush ( stdin ) ;
printf ( " email address : " ) ;
gets ( list . email ) ;
printf ( " \ n " ) ;
fwrite ( & list , sizeof ( list ) , 1 , fp ) ;
}
fclose ( fp ) ;
break ;
If the user has selected the option 1 i.e. to add a contact then the
above code will come in action.

case 2 :
system ( " cls " ) ;
printf ( " \ n \ t \ t = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = \ n \ t \ t \ t LIST OF C

The above code is used to display the contact list entered by the user.

If the user wants to search for a contact then the above code will come
in action.

If the user wants to edit an existing contact then the above code will
