Confusing error message when use wrong format for "new" command

[superkaiba]

If the desired format for the "new" command is not followed, (i.e. new [o/OPTION] SECRET_NAME [f/FOLDER_NAME]) then the error message given is Illegal Secret Name: Please use only alphanumeric numbers and '_' when the real source of the error is that the format for the "new" command is not followed.

Steps to reproduce:

• Enter the command new o/StudentID test s/abc

Team's Response

Here, the program does not make the assumption that the format is wrong. it assumes the user tries to give an input for the secret name that includes a ' ' and '/' character in the secret name. In reality, there is no real way for the program to tell the difference, because in our program only the "o/", "c/" and "f/" are assumed to parts of any command. This was designed to minimise restrictions for users but still allow data to be easily written and retrievable/ findable.
