# HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
#
# You can't export your skype messages DIRECTLY inside skype for some
# reason. So I searched on the internet how to export messages from
# skype and found this page from microsoft's support website
# https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34894/how-do-i-export-or-delete-my-skype-data. It's
# a lot of extra steps it lists to use their weird JS tool to view the
# content. You can't even download it after except by doing Control +
# P a lot on all your things. Which won't even do you well because
# it's not going to show you the whole list of messages. So I present
# to you my script.

# 1. Go to the export page and sign into your microsoft account.
# https://go.skype.com/export

# 2. Select download your Conversations. Wait a bit and it will give
# you a tar link to download.

# 3. Extract the tar using your method of tar extraction. They list to
# use some command line option. If it failes on one file look for some
# option to keep the files. It should give you a new file called
# "messages.json"

# 4. Install python and run this script. python FILEOFTHISSCRIPT

# 5. Now then there will be a index.html file generated and click on
# the links for all your messages. You should also see a bunch of
# other html files were downloaded. You could in your browser export
# them as PDF or do whatever you want. It has who it was from, date
# and content in plaintext.
