RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
New bug discovered: If your screen name is too long, it will appear in the top part as "...<name here>", this won't match the conversation, meaning the whole conversation will be formatted in the other user's font. | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 12-02-2010 at 09:32 AM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
Although I haven't tried converting one yet, I have a few conversations where someone changes their screen name during a conversation. Do you need any examples of this happening? I have to say, XP1, you're doing a great job, I really need to start ... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 10-07-2010 at 01:11 AM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
oh, and another bug I've stumbled upon: If the conversation wraps onto another line: [code] [13:36:11] WANT A STABL: sorry about that (doing work on my phone line!)[/code] Then the script gets confused and crashes. So, possibly something ... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 10-03-2010 at 03:47 PM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
Ah, yeah, sorry, Linux user here :-) you'll need Patch, from here: [code]http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/pat ch.htm[/code] copy the patch code into a file called "Main.patch" and save it in the same directory as Main.java and run from com... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus!

RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
Right, I've had a play with the script, there are a few bugs (for example, if an emoticon was used in a display name, the script can't find email addresses). I have changed how the output is laid out, this makes Pidgin display the log correctly, bu... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 10-03-2010 at 11:20 AM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
Cheers, I'll check that out. In the case of Pidgin, the HTML will not validate, but needs to be laid out the way it's expecting or it doesn't seem to read them at all! | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 10-03-2010 at 10:22 AM |

RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
In theory, a script would run something like this: [code]Search for the following string: "| Session Start:" search for string for next occurrence of: ".----------------------------------------------- ---------------------." if number of lines bet... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus!

RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
The formatting doesn't really bother me, as long as the text is all still there :) | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 02:36 PM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
Various scripts? Do you know where I can check these out? @djdannyp: They don't need to be perfect, but there is actually enough information in them to recreate a readable log. I have done some manually, it just takes a really long time! |-) | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 02:14 PM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
haha, I wish it was that simple! Pidgin's logs need to be formatted a specific way, or then it won't read them! Also, each conversation needs to be in a separate file. | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 02:05 PM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
I'm trying to convert them to HTML, as used in Pidgin, so all my logs are in one place, and in the same format. Which makes them easier to search later on. | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 01:42 PM |
RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
I can't really see what could "go wrong" but I agree that it would be quite difficult to do. If I could program, I'd give it a shot as I know there's enough information in those logs to, at least, be able to convert to a different format. | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 01:19 PM |
Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
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 lo... | ian_hawdon | WLM Plus! General | 06-18-2010 at 12:42 PM |
