SYNOPSIS

 Options:
   -f FORMAT, --format=NAME         Log format (pocoirc or irssi)
   -c CASE,   --case=CASE           The IRC server's case mapping
   -b NICK,   --bot=NICK            The nickname of the IRC bot
   -r RX      --ignore-regex=RX     A regex for lines to ignore
   -n NICK,   --ignore-nick=NICK    A nickname to ignore
   -h,        --help                Print this help message
   -v,        --version             Print version number

Input is accepted on STDIN, and output is delivered to STDOUT.

You should use the "--bot" option if your bot was present when the channel was logged as it will strip the "botname: " part from messages where users addressed the bot.

If your bot (or any other bot in the channel) can take commands that all start in a similar way, use the "--ignore-regex" option to ignore those lines, e.g. "--ignore-regex='^!\w+'" for bots that react to commands prefixed with '!'.

Example:

  # convert irssi log, ignoring "MyBot: " prefix and lines with URLs
  cat ~/logs/\#chan.log | irchailo-seed -f irssi -b MyBot -r '\w+://\w' > hailo.trn

The "--case" option controls the second parameter passed to "lc_irc" from IRC::Utils. The default is 'rfc1459'. You usually don't have to change this. Consult that package's documentation for more information.
