MSN Chat log parser

This parser uses Beautiful Soup to convert MSN Messenger chat logs from XML to a more readable text file. If the input and output folder and print boolean aren't set, it will prompt the user to enter them.

Usage

To print chat logs to console

pipenv run python parser.py --input-folder=<input_folder> --output-folder=<output_folder> --print-output

To output formatted text files without printing to console

pipenv run python parser.py --input-folder=<input_folder> --output-folder=<output_folder> --no-print

To run tests

pipenv run pytest

TODO

• Create functions to read/write to file
