parses Textual log files and returns JavaScript objects

• Removes empty lines and Begin/End session lines
• Corrects missing date in timestamp from early Textual logs.
• Formats dates consistently with local timezone data.

Point the parser to a directory of Textual logs and it'll return you objects for each line:

{
  "date": "2014-06-30T18:53:44+08:00",
  "value": "<@srn_> ZIGGAGAGAGAGA"
}

The parser will also return number of days and metadata(server, type and title). Example use of the parser:

var parser = require('textual-log-parser')

var directory = "~/Documents/Textual\ logs/Freenode/Channels/#atp";
parser(directory, function(results, days, metadata){
  console.log(days + ' days of logs');
});

You can also use the parser as a CLI app by installing it globally.

$ npm install --global textual-log-parser

The CLI will output the results as a JSON file in your current working directory.

$ textual-log-parser --help

Usage
  $ textual-log-parser <directory>
