Objective:
Solve python problems using files.
Question:
1. Create a Python program using Files that allows users to log and track their personal or business
expenses. The program should read and write expense data to a file, enabling users to record new
transactions, view total expenses, and analyse spending over time.

Algorithm:
Code:
import os

# File to store expenses

expense_file = 'expenses.txt'

# Function to display the menu

def display_menu():
print("\nExpense Tracker Menu:")
print("1. Log a new expense")
print("2. View all expenses")
print("3. View total expenses")
print("4. Search expenses by date or description")
print("5. Delete an expense")
print("6. Modify an expense")
print("7. Exit")

# Function to log a new expense

def log_expense():
description = input("Enter expense description: ")
amount = float(input("Enter amount spent: "))
date = input("Enter date of expense (DD.MM.YY): ")

with open(expense_file, 'a') as file:

file.write(f"{description},{amount},{date}\n")

print("Expense logged successfully.")

# Function to view all expenses

def view_expenses():
if not os.path.exists(expense_file):
print("No expenses recorded yet.")
return

with open(expense_file, 'r') as file:

expenses = file.readlines()

if expenses:
print("\nLogged Expenses:")
for expense in expenses:
description, amount, date = expense.strip().split(',')
print(f"Description: {description}, Amount: {amount}, Date: {date}")
else:
print("No expenses recorded.")

# Function to calculate total expenses

def calculate_total_expenses():
if not os.path.exists(expense_file):
print("No expenses recorded yet.")
return

total = 0.0
with open(expense_file, 'r') as file:
 for line in file:
_, amount, _ = line.strip().split(',')
total += float(amount)

print(f"Total Expenses: {total}")

# Function to search expenses by description or date

def search_expenses():
search_term = input("Enter search term (description or date): ")

if not os.path.exists(expense_file):
print("No expenses recorded yet.")
return

with open(expense_file, 'r') as file:

expenses = file.readlines()

found = False
print("\nMatching Expenses:")
for expense in expenses:
description, amount, date = expense.strip().split(',')
if search_term in description or search_term in date:
print(f"Description: {description}, Amount: {amount}, Date: {date}")
found = True

if not found:
print("No matching expenses found.")

# Function to delete an expense

def delete_expense():
search_term = input("Enter description or date of the expense to delete: ")

if not os.path.exists(expense_file):
print("No expenses recorded yet.")
return

with open(expense_file, 'r') as file:

expenses = file.readlines()

with open(expense_file, 'w') as file:

found = False
for expense in expenses:
if search_term not in expense:
file.write(expense)
else:
found = True

if found:
print("Expense deleted successfully.")
else:
print("Expense not found.")

# Function to modify an expense

def modify_expense():
 search_term = input("Enter description or date of the expense to modify: ")

if not os.path.exists(expense_file):
print("No expenses recorded yet.")
return

with open(expense_file, 'r') as file:

expenses = file.readlines()

with open(expense_file, 'w') as file:

found = False
for expense in expenses:
if search_term in expense:
description, _, date = expense.strip().split(',')
new_description = input(f"Enter new description (current: {description}):
")
new_amount = float(input(f"Enter new amount (current:
{expense.split(',')[1]}): "))
new_date = input(f"Enter new date (current: {date}): ")
file.write(f"{new_description},{new_amount},{new_date}\n")
found = True
else:
file.write(expense)

if found:
print("Expense modified successfully.")
else:
print("Expense not found.")
