NAME

irchal-seed - Creates a MegaHAL training file from logs generated by POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Logger or irssi.

SYNOPSIS

irchal-seed <options>

Options:
  -f FORMAT, --format=NAME         Log format (pocoirc or irssi)
  -c CASE,   --case=CASE           The IRC server's case mapping
  -b NICK,   --bot=NICK            The nickname of the IRC bot
  -r RX      --ignore-regex=RX     A regex for lines to ignore
  -n NICK,   --ignore-nick=NICK    A nickname to ignore
  -h,        --help                Print this help message
  -v,        --version             Print version number

Input is accepted on STDIN, and output is delivered to STDOUT.

You should use the --bot option if your bot was present when the channel was logged as it will strip the "botname: " part from messages where users addressed the bot.

If your bot (or any other bot in the channel) can take commands that all start in a similar way, use the --ignore-regex option to ignore those lines, e.g. --ignore-regex='^!\w+' for bots that react to commands prefixed with '!'.

Example:

# convert irssi log, ignoring "MyBot: " and lines with URLs
cat ~/logs/\#chan.log | irchal-seed -f irssi -b MyBot -r '\w+://\w' > megahal.trn

The --case option controls the second parameter passed to lc_irc from IRC::Utils. The default is 'rfc1459'. You usually don't have to change this. Consult that package's documentation for more information.
