## Overview

This is a command-line student-record manager. A user selects insertion, search/listing, or sorting; the CLI validates and constructs records, while the singleton manager owns in-memory records and pipe-delimited file persistence. Searches and listings are sorted using a selectable strategy before the CLI displays results. The README is empty, so capabilities and wiring are based on the sampled source; the data file is supplied at runtime.

Main entry points: [`CAU_OOP_Project1/CAU_OOP_Project1.cpp`](https://github.com/lerubz/cau_oop_project1_/blob/master/CAU_OOP_Project1/CAU_OOP_Project1.cpp) (Menu and handlers), [`CAU_OOP_Project1/StudentManager.cpp`](https://github.com/lerubz/cau_oop_project1_/blob/master/CAU_OOP_Project1/StudentManager.cpp) (Student manager), [`CAU_OOP_Project1/Student.cpp`](https://github.com/lerubz/cau_oop_project1_/blob/master/CAU_OOP_Project1/Student.cpp) (Student model), [`CAU_OOP_Project1/file1.txt`](https://github.com/lerubz/cau_oop_project1_/blob/master/CAU_OOP_Project1/file1.txt) (Record file)
