hi, I recently discovered a whole bunch of old logs created by messenger plus (between 2003 and 2005) all saved in plain text. I have been using Pidgin for a while, and I was wondering if anyone knew a fast way (automated) to convert these legacy logs to another format.
Looking at the logs, there is quite a bit of information missing, so I'm guessing a script will need to ask questions during conversion:
code:
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Session Start: 26 February 2004 |
| Participants: |
| My user name (**********@hotmail.com) |
| Recipient's user name (*******@hotmail.com) |
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
[16:44:33] My user name: Hello there
[16:45:02] Recipient's : hi
[16:45:49] My user name: How are you?
[16:46:37] Recipient's : I'm ok
[16:46:38] Recipient's : yourself?
So, I'm guessing the script would have to look at that and find the two participants, then ask which user starts with "Recipient's " as the user names get cut off!
I can't find a script or program that does this, and converting the logs by hand takes hours/days/weeks!
Anyone else tried attempting something like this?
Cheers
