You are encouraged to start early and work on the parts you're comfortable with so that you don't have too much work piled up before the deadline.
For example: you only need basic programming skills to create the menus and implement menu navigation. Do that now, so that later you don't have to worry about it.
Your program should catch all reasonably-exptected exceptions (e.g. file not found, regular expression search failed, zero results) and print an error message that makes sense to an average user. If I have to debug your program for you - I may fix it or I may ask you to resubmit it.
You may use any coding style you choose - but make sure it is consistent throughout the program. Coding style is important - not least because I have to read it. "Style" includes adding a comment at the top of every function explaining what it does. You won't lose marks for too many comments, you will lose marks for too few.
