How to filter by specific contact? #17

Closed rvega closed 8 months ago

rvega commented 8 months ago

Hi, thanks for all the great work here. Working great so far with Android and linux!

Question:

Which parts of the code should I edit in order to only export the history of a particular contact? I tried to follow the instructions here https://github.com/chrrel/whatsapp-exporter/issues/12 but the line numbers and the queries don't match what I see in .venv/.../Whatsapp_Chat_Exporter/*.py (I installed with pip using a venv)

Hi @rvega, to filter for a specific contact you need to adapt the SQL queries. This is described in the Usage section of the README.

I guess you might want to double-check the the library you are working with as there is no directory called Whatsapp_Chat_Exporter in this project. Seems like you installed a different project: Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter.

My bad, thanks for the reply!
