CLI to parse into csv files

[joweich]

Goal

Add a command line interface that allows for parsing chat export files into csv files. In its minimal version, the usage would like like this:

chatminer --parser whatsapp --input chatlog.txt --output export.csv

Jobs to be done:

• [ ] Add new file cli.py
• [ ] Add logic parsing and checking command line arguments
• [ ] Trigger chat file parsing and csv export of resulting dataframe
• [ ] [OPTIONAL] Add output for the --help flag explaining the usage of the CLI

Hey @joweich , could I work on this issue?

[joweich]

@Exterminator11 sure, I'm happy to assign this issue to you! 🙂

Hey @joweich, glad to be working on it😃. I was able to come up with a cli.py file and just to ensure I understood the issue correctly, do these screenshots match the functionality you are looking for?

At this point I am executing the file using the complete path I am yet to change that to match chatminer --parser whatsapp --input chatlog.txt --output export.csv

[joweich]

@Exterminator11 yes, that's perfect!

Hey @joweich, I was able to create the command line for it, this is what it looks like.

I am a newcomer to open-source contributions 😅, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the subsequent steps.

@Exterminator11 happy to! You'll first commit and push your code changes to your fork of this project. After, you'll open a Pull Request, which I will subsequently merge to the main branch of this project
