With the exception of surprise-me-this, you will be asked to enter search criteria. In the following example we are searching for concerts (using the Bands In Town API) for the group U2.
The details of the various up-coming concerts will be displayed.
movie-this will display the details of the requested movie.
If a movie is not specified, the app will return the suggestion of "Mr Nobody".
spotify-this will return any song title containing the words provided. Similar to movie-this, if no search words are given, the app will return "The Sign".
surprise-me-this will return details based on the contents of the random.text file. In this case it will run spotify-this for "I Want It That Way".
Last, all requests and outputs are stored to the file log.txt.
