smsxml2html

Turn SMS Backup and Restore SMS XML files into HTML transcripts By Chistopher Mitchell, Ph.D.

This tool creates HTML transcripts of SMS/MMS conversations from Carbonite SMS Backup and Restore backup files. It takes one or more XML files, separates them out into one-on-one conversations, and emits each of those conversations as a separate HTML file. It also parses the URI-encoded MMS images in these backups and produces picture files you can view, edit, and organize.

Usage

python smsxml2html.py -o <output_dir> -n <user_carrier_number> <input_file> [<input_file> ...]

• : New directory into which to place HTML files and images
• : The carrier number of the SMS backups' owner, in `1NNNXXXYYYY` format
• : One or more XML backup files produced by SMS Backup and Restore.
