Unrecognized date format
See original GitHub issueHi! I just did a whatsapp export and put it into chat-miner, but it seems my datetime format is not supported. I was able to get it working by modifying the code a bit, but not in a way that would be good for a PR, hence this issue instead.
My exported format is like this:
26-04-2022 12:11 - [name]: [message]
So it’s day-month-year hour:minute.
Not only does chat-minder currently not expect a - as date separator, it also gets confused later on when it’s splitting datetime and message content based on - (splitting on - with spaces around it works better).

Sure thing, I’ll make sure to integrate my format in the following days!
@Landcross @alfonso46674 @miguelgazela Thank you guys for raising this! The format of the date in the logs indeed differ depending on different factors. I haven’t seen your formats yet, which is why the regex does not properly parse them. The fix should be quite easy: Simply adjust the regex string DATEREG to incorporate your formats. This is a great tool for validating regular expressions. Feel free to drop a PR to contribute to this project!
