whachat / dateformat

[datenhain]

HI,

the whachat commandline help has the option [-f [FORMAT]] that implies every date format can be parsed instead of choosing the pre-defined formats android/ios if mobileOS is selected with -s.

I have a text export with date format "24.07.21, 10:15"

But i don't get it working with the commandline, and option -r EN -f "%d.%m.%y, %H:%M" chatfile.txt

After changing the dates in chatfile.txt to pre-defined android format "%d/%m/%y %H:%M" it works with the gui but still not with commandline whachat.py

thx

Ok, let me check it

Can you tell me the complete format of one line? Ex. Android 23/5/18 15:24 - USER: TEXT TEXT TEXT

The problem is that depending on the operating system and language the log form changes.

Give a try the latest version 1.55 and see if it solves the problem.

Hi,

the good note is: the german dateformat [12.01.21, 23:42:00] is now recognized and parsed wth the GUI :-) But..., with commandline I was only able to genereate the participant list, I could not find the right way to generate the report only with the commandline.

I tried:

python .\libs\whachat.py "D:\path_to_chat_chat.txt" -p -f -s ios -r EN python .\libs\whachat.py "D:\path_to_chat_chat.txt" -p -f -s ios -r EN -u "username" python .\libs\whachat.py "D:\path_to_chat_chat.txt" -p -f -s ios -r EN -u "username" -f "%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S" python .\libs\whachat.py "D:\path_to_chat_chat.txt" -p -f -s ios -r EN -u "username" -f "%d.%m.%y, %H:%M:%S"

if i omit the "-s ios", no participant list is generated.

So, since the GUI is parsing the dots now with v1.55, this is only a cosmetic problem.

thx Chris

python "FULLPATH\libs\whachat.py "D:\path_to_chat_chat.txt"-s android -f "%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S" -r EN -u "username"

Try this even though you can see the command line in the status bar.

i tried:

python.exe .\libs\whachat.py 'D:\path_to_chat_de.txt' -s android -f "%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S" -p
python.exe .\libs\whachat.py 'D:\path_to_chat_de.txt' -s android -f "%d.%m.%y, %H:%M:%S" -p

does nothing

python.exe .\libs\whachat.py 'D:\path_to_chat_de.txt' -s ios -f "%d.%m.%y, %H:%M:%S" -p working

python.exe .\libs\whachat.py 'D:\path_to_chat_de.txt' -s ios -f "%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S" -r EN -u "username" working

python.exe .\libs\whachat.py 'D:\path_to_chat_de.txt' -s android -f "%d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S" -r EN -u "username"

generates an exception:

If the gui works, the terminal must work, copy the complete command, with full paths
