Does anybody know of any way (or any pre-existing program) to parse
iChat
.chat files? It seems ridiculous that one can't save an iChat
conversation
as a text file. How are other people who don't use iChat supposed to
read
the conversation that you've saved?
They aren't supposed to be, evidently. What is interesting is that
they're
archived in an Instant Message class; if there's a way of looking at
that,
you can probably deduce the process from there.
Just a thought, of course...
That would be interesting (to be able to see the Instant Message class
that
you speak of). Perhaps there are headers files or something that go
along
with iChat that are viewable to us? Or maybe there is some underground
website dedicated to cracking iChat files ;-).
Anybody else have ideas on this, or maybe where the information is
stored
online?
Thanks,
Mw
There is a InstantMessage.framework which contains all that you're
looking for...However, it is not as simple as to link to this framework
and unarchive the chat files. iChat requires some setup to be made
first. Which is not documented...
Play with class-dump. Use every trick in the book.
