The logs are kept in an XML file. I’m parsing the file with Perl, and chucking it up on that page. I’ll work on making it look prettier soon. I’d also like to collect some stats, and be able to isolate specific conversations.
This was my first successful XML parsing excercise. I used XML::Simple, as the name implies, it’s mostly pretty simple. I had some trouble trying to figure out what kind of variable structure it was putting the file into, but got it eventually. It’s a hash of hashes, with array’s thrown in there as well.
