Search for tasks by keyword.

Command:

ℹ️ the find function returns any corresponding matches, it does not have to be the full word. Even a letter can be used to find corresponding tasks containing that letter.

Bob automatically saves your tasks when you exit.

Command:

bye

Alternatively, simply close the window by presing 'X' on the top right corner.

Bob saves your tasks automatically to data/bob.txt. When you reopen Bob, your tasks will be restored.

You can use various date formats such as:

• yyyy-MM-dd → 2025-02-17
• dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm → 17/02/2025 22:00
• Natural language → "next Friday", "tomorrow 6pm"

ℹ️ if the time is not specified, it will set it as the current time you added the task, on the date you entered.

⚠️ some dates, especially in natural language may be inferred wrongly, especially if the date is not a valid day of the month. Bob will still try to infer which date you are referring to, but it can get it wrong. If the date inferred is incorrect, simply delete and add the task again using a different date format.
