Simpler IRC logs

as tried on Xchat(2.8.8) IRC client

This is a very simple python3 script that takes in a raw IRC log filename as an argument and outputs a less cluttered text output of the logs

The IRC log stores all the system notifications of people joining in the channel and leaving the channel which makes it very messy and hard to read the actual content. So as a way to make my life a bit easier I wrote 'logreader.py'.

Sample:

It doesn't do much. Basically all it does is take in the IRC log file and remove all the lines containing '*'. Which you might think is very risky but works almost 99% of the time :D at least on Xchat LOL

Usage

./logreader.py input_file

Which will give output on the terminal.

You can direct it into a new file:

./logreader.py input_file > output_file
