DSAceCleaner - Printable Version

DSAceCleaner

DSAceCleaner is a Python-Script to remove junk/unnecessary lines from Discovery Freelancer's DSAce chatlogs.

Usage

Start the script:

Code:
python .\DSAceCleaner.py

Code:
start DSAceCleaner.exe

Follow the given instructions:

Code:
Input Path for DSAce log file("default" for .\DSAce.txt):

Output Path for cleaned DSAce log("default" for DSAce_cleaned.txt):

Include timestamps (y/n):

OR:

With the introduction of config-file support, this entire proccess can be automated.
The config-file includes the following keys:

Code:
inputFile

outputFile

includeTimestamps

exclusions

The in- and outputFile keys are self-explanatory. They take the in- and output path of the DSAce file. The includeTimestamps key also is. It defines whether to include Timestamps or not. It takes either 'y' or 'n' as values.

The exclusions key is a bit more special, it defines what is to be included in the cleaned file and what is to be filtered out. It can take multiple values, all of which must be seperated by a comma and space (', '). Each value must end with either [0], [1], [2] or [3].

Code:
[0] = Exclude value from Name List.

[1] = Exclude value from Content List.

[2] = Exclude value from both Lists.

[3] = Exclude value from and if at the beginning of Content List. Used for filtering ooRP messages.

An example of how the config file looks can be found in the DSAceCleaner/config.ini file.

The script can also be used as a library, acting as a parser. It'll return a list of the Names and another of the Message Contents.

Code:
from DSAceCleaner import parser

parsedList = parser('DSAce.txt',      True)

#                         ^Input File    ^Include timestamps

nameList = parsedList[0]

contentList = parsedList[1]
