Scenario
You have a simple Contact.txt text file consisting of one record that contains
information about a customer. Using the file as input, you need to generate a
mailing label for this customer.
Contact Record
The Contact.txt file (the contents of which are shown below) is a simple text file
with one record containing information about a customer. The record includes the
name of the contact person at the company, the company name, the address, and
the phone number.
This input data must be described as a file (consisting of one contact record), and
as a record (consisting of multiple data fields).
