Can you please attach an anonymized export of the chat? I once had an export of a Russian chat and it converted the chat without problems.

[gryshkoff]

Thanks for your reply, if possible, please describe step by step, I'm not quite a confident python user

Thank you!

Hmmm. It works perfectly on my computer, I got a clean export. Did you use pip to install the whatsapp-converter package?

What you could try (if chat.txt is inside the whatsapp_converter directory):

cd ..
python -m whatsapp_converter whatsapp_converter/chat.txt chat.csv

[gryshkoff]

Yes, I did. i used next link

Can you please check the python version? It works only with python3:

python --version

[gryshkoff]

Just used your command Convert WhatsApp TXT to CSV (Default Use Case) No CSV file was created , and were it must be generated, same path?

So it worked? The default file is saved in the same directory as the whatsapp-converter. It is called result.csv.

[gryshkoff]

No, it didn't. [image: image.png] No CSV created

Also your command has name python whatsapp-converter.py and filename is whatsapp_converter.py

If you installed whatsapp-converter via pip, than you could just start it from the command line without the .py extension. See here:

(env) [tmp]$ whatsapp-converter example-cyrillic result.csv

Sorry, the pictures are not attached. I think you need to upload and attach them here in the chat.

where must stay export.txt?

It does not matter. Typically in the same directory where you execute the whatsapp-converter command. Alternatively you can provide an absolute path, e.g. /tmp/export.txt on a Linux system.

[gryshkoff]

NO "writing result.csv"

[sandsturm]

For sure you are using an old version of the converter because the -n argument is not shown. Can you please upgrade the application via pip? Maybe this helps.

pip install --upgrade whatsapp_converter

[gryshkoff]

update log.txt

[sandsturm]

Can you please check that you have python3 installed?

python --version

[gryshkoff]

of course , i have latest python 3.9.5 Almost solved , i mannualy downloaded files and replaced , now i have - n argument (pip install --upgrade whatsapp_converter did not help ) Now situation like this, i cant find resultset.csv

[gryshkoff]

Solved ,the result is saved to the desktop in the whatsapp-converter-0.5.4 folder that I accidentally added there. Thank you for support!

[sandsturm]

Perfect, happy to hear that!
