joergI agree it's not trivial to parse, usually you want a XML-lib to handle XML files. Read in the tree, handle it, and write it out again00:07
joergbut, to return to origin of this discussion, I have no idea what even been the intended purpose of the exported SMS file00:08
joergdefinitely you'd want a "hardcoded" fixed value start mark, so you could detect " MOVISTAR" as a "index"/key of a new record and not confuse it with a "leading space" continuation line of some record.00:11
joergand when you already got a start-mark, you _could_ also use a convenient end-mark, if only for human legibility. E.g. a "================" line. Though that's not mandatory00:13
FatPhilTechnically, everything that you could want to do in an RDB you can do in key-value pairs. However, that doesn't make it sensible.01:15
FatPhileverything that you can do in a key-value nosql database you can do in sql. And the sql database will handle that without even asking what the fuck you are doing.01:17
KotCzarnykeep it simple stupids07:40
KotCzarnyits tempting to complicate things 'because it will be so nice', but then again later it might introduce even more complications07:41
KotCzarnyattributes in xml are like metadata, you usually keep it along the data but not inside the data07:42
KotCzarnyin sql it would take 2 tables because of that07:42

sunshavi_joerg: You are right about two consecutive multiple line SMS's. I have no answer for that yet. Probably I am going to parse it with emacs lisp But in the future. for now even with that error I am happy with the results14:40
sunshavi_now I have partially recovery sending SMS's from my desktop machine and I am fully recovered Reading the SMS's for a particular phone number with 7 keystrokes. So I am a happy N9 user14:41
sunshavi_BTW. I am a heavy user of multiple line SMS's when writting from my desktop machine (even more than 280 chars is cumbersone and problematic for the phone)14:44
sunshavi_N900 is far more accessible than N9 on this regard (using the phone functionality remotely)14:46
sunshavi_And Also coming to the party more than 12 years later is an issue too. There should be probably few users for N9 than for N900 right now (arguably I know)14:47
joergmy N9 is dead / slaughtered. Got a N950 that's MALF and I CBA to fix that again15:09
joergmight eventually find somebody willing to buy the N950 for a 2k bucks, and I'm happy with a few N900 I got here15:10
joerg>>far more accessible than N9 <<  I dared to start bash in a terminal on N950 --> BOOOM MALF15:12
joergprolly from writing .bash_history15:12
joergAEGIS >:-(15:13
joergLOL, this can't be mere coincidence:  https://getaegis.app/15:14

joerg>>Disable aegis permanently? <<15:15
sunshavi_on the thread about 'resurrect your N9'. there is an option for decreasing Aegis priority. That has been done15:21
sunshavi_I could start bash on a terminal15:21
