SMSarch - SMS Phone to PC archiver
Archive SMS messages from your mobile phone to the neat text files named by the message sender.
smsarch [-p com1] [-r] [-d] [-x|-x IMEI] [-w 50] [--pause]
smsarch --help | --man
smsarch.log of communication between SMSarch and then the mobile phone.
smsarch_test.txt and
regular communication log in the file smsarch.log.
This program reads the received SMS messages from the mobile phone and stores them in the formatted text files named by the sender.
The program stores the address book and list of processed messages
in the files addrbook.*IMEI*.dat and archived.*IMEI*.dat. The
IMEI number is the serial number of the phone. These user
definitions for message processing are stored in text file
addrconv.*IMEI*.txt.
The address book is refresh after 14 days or the refresh can be forced/banned by the command line parameters. The program is able to read only the default phone number to each address book entry. The phone numbers must be in the international format (will be compared to the number of the message sender and only exact matches are processed).
There is a possibility to add user defined entries to the address book, exclude certain phone numbers from archiving process, and set the sender name according to the message content.
The file can contain comments. Lines starting with # and anything not similar to the statements below is considered to be a comment.
#999111 => no_archive foo bar
If the message matches the regular expression the specified sender name is used.
/^F:troo@mail\.com/ => 'Troo' /^F:(\S+)/ => "$1"
Exclude all messages received from certain number by no_archive tag. The messages will be stored in the binary archive but the output text files will not be created.
999111 => no_archive
Add a new address book entry or overwrite an entry loaded from the phone by specifying the number and the name.
+420123456789 => 'Troo'
The messages are saved in the text files located in the
messages.*IMEI* folder. The files are named by the message sender.
If the name cannot be determined the phone number is used intead.

The messages are ordered by date and time. The multipart messages are concatenated. The width of the output can be changed by the command line parameter. The message content is reformated. The program insert spaces after dots, commas, question marks and exclamations. Any new line charactes are removed.
There is a binary archive of all the messages. You can re-create the output text files from the binary archive using the command line parameter. Any changes to the address book and user definitions are applied. The output folder is not cleaned but the respective files are overwritten.
The program has been tested on Windows 2000. It uses Win32::SerialPort but with few modification it could be used on Linux with Device::SerialPort as well.
The program is designed for Nokia 6310i mobile phone connected using cable or infra red (virtual COM port). Other Nokia models should be working as well. Other phones could work too because only standard AT commands are used.
The address book entries are read from the phone in unicode UCS-2 encoding if supported by the phone. The program uses CP852 character page for the screen and CP1250 character page for the file names in order to process Czech specific characters correctly.
Feel free to test SMSarch with the --test option. If the test fails
or the application is not working due to phone incompatibility send
me the log and test files produced. I'll try to modify SMSarch to work
with your phone correctly. Please let me know if you are successful
with phone not listed above.
