Parse specific message html file #69

Closed conwayzhu closed 6 years ago

conwayzhu commented 6 years ago

It seems that the format has changed from messages.htm to a messages directory messages/convo_id.html. How do we run the fbchat parser on a specific message file? The output seems to be {"user": null, "threads": []}

The messages.htm file should still be there under the html/ folder (unless the format changed super recently). It makes references to the messages/ folder and they are automatically traversed. Please try that. You can use the filtering flags to get specific conversations.

Thanks! Appreciate the help

No problem, glad that worked :) I'll have to update the docs to clarify that.
