FS Program 3

This program implements methods to pack, unpack, modify and search student records stored in a text file with variable-length records. A Student class contains fields for student details and methods to get/set data, pack/unpack records into a buffer, insert/display records from the file, search by USN, and modify a record based on a key. The main function provides a menu to test the class methods and write/read from the data file.
