I coded the most basic, rudimentary program in one hour while I was eating noodles. Then, I had to had to work on it some more. However, it is still not complete. Some parts need fixing, cleanup, and whatever.
I need more examples and more testing, for example, files with status messages in legacy format and HTML.
Is this what you want?
code:
<html><head><title>Conversation with Recipient's user name at 2004-02-26 16:44:33 on My user name (msn)</title></head><body><h3>Conversation with Recipient's user name at 2004-02-26 16:44:33 on My user name (msn)</h3><font color="#16569E"><font size="2">16:44:33</font> <b>My user name:</b></font> <font sml="MSN">Hello there
</font><br/><font color="#A82F2F"><font size="2">16:45:02</font> <b>Recipient's :</b></font> <font sml="MSN"><span style="font-family: High Tower Text;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">hi
</span></strong></span></font><br/><font color="#16569E"><font size="2">16:45:49</font> <b>My user name:</b></font> <font sml="MSN">How are you?
</font><br/><font color="#A82F2F"><font size="2">16:46:37</font> <b>Recipient's :</b></font> <font sml="MSN"><span style="font-family: High Tower Text;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">I'm ok
</span></strong></span></font><br/><font color="#A82F2F"><font size="2">16:46:38</font> <b>Recipient's :</b></font> <font sml="MSN"><span style="font-family: High Tower Text;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">yourself?</span></strong></span></font><br/></body></html>
The HTML doesn't validate.
Check the HTML file and the Java source code (...\src\) in the "Messenger Plus! Legacy Chatlog.zip" file.
It's my first public program, so maybe someone else can do better than me.
Also, you seem not to like that the names are getting cut off. Do you want them to be the full name and not get cut off?
