I used the following script, and ended up piping it through tools
I know better than perl, as shown at the end:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while (<>) {
s/^[[:digit:]:]{5} //; # trim leading time
s/^[[:space:]]*//mg; # trim leading spaces
s/^<[ [EMAIL PROTECTED]([[:alnum:]_-]+)>//; # convert nickname format
chomp; # remove newlines
s/\[/\n[/g; # reinsert newlines
print;
}
print "\n";
# read NICK; perl debate-reply-trim.pl | fmt -w 350 \
# | sed -e "s,^,[$NICK]," | tr -s ' '
I am sure this can be majorly improved.
