Converts .txt file to .csv file for WhatsApp chat.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Due to some limitations, please check the code before you start parsing. All limitations and patterns used are listed below.
This is all pattern I've known. Still, I don't have pattern 4 on my dataset.
| Name | Pattern |
|---|---|
| pattern 1 | [DD/MM/YY hh.mm.ss] Sender: Messages [DD/MM/YY hh.mm.ss AM/PM] Sender: Messages |
| pattern 2 | MM/DD/YY, hh.mm - Sender: Messages MM/DD/YY, hh:mm AM/PM - Sender: Messages |
| pattern 3 | DD/MM/YY hh.mm - Sender: Messages |
| pattern 4 | DD/MM/YYYY hh.mm - Sender: Messages |
- Tried on iOS file with pattern 1 without AM/PM.
- Tried on Android file with pattern 2 with AM/PM.
- Tried on Android file with pattern 3.
- Need to remove the first line of .txt file for Android since it doesn't have a sender.
- Could only works if the senders is whether a name only, or phone numbers only.
- Couldn't parse if the sender is a phone number (a.k.a not saved as contacts) and a name.
- If the messages have colons, then it will match as the sender. So I've deleted all colons except in sender field. Thus, won't show https://.
