Deleting an employee: delete

What it does

This feature allows users to delete an employee based on index or name.

Command Format

delete INDEX or delete /n NAME

• Deletes the employee at the specified INDEX or with the name NAME.
• The INDEX refers to the index number shown in the displayed employee list.
• The INDEX must be a positive integer, and must be within the range of the list (Total number of employees in the current list displayed).

Caution: Please do not use negative integers, non-integers and extremely large integers(integers greater than 2147483647) for the INDEX.

• The NAME must be in the correct format.

Note: To allow greater flexibility in terms of searching, if there are 2 or more employees with same name, i.e. Amy Tan and Amy Teo, entering the command delete /n FULLNAME of any of the employee will still return a list of these employees instead of deleting the employee that matches the full name.

Examples:

• list followed by delete 2 deletes the 2nd employee in the employee directory.
• find Betsy followed by delete 1 deletes the 1st employee in the results of the find command.
• delete /n Betsy will delete the employee with the name ‘Betsy’ if there is only one such employee with this name. If there is no such employee, there will be an error message displayed. Otherwise, it will return you a list of employees with the name ‘Betsy’ and you will have to follow up with a delete INDEX command to delete the ‘Betsy’ that you want using the index displayed in the list.

Output:

• If the index is valid or there is only one employee in the list, whose name contains the keyword, ManaGease should display a confirmation message indicating that the employee information has been successfully deleted.
• The employee’s list should be updated by removing the employee.
  

Possible Error Output:

• If there are multiple employees with the same name, all the matching employees would be displayed. Hence, ManaGease will return “Here is the list of the matching employees:”
