WhatsApp Chat Parser
Purpose
Parse WhatsApp chat export files (.txt) and extract structured data including:
- Participant list
- Message count and date range
- Individual messages with timestamps and senders
- Media placeholders and system messages
WhatsApp Export Format
WhatsApp exports follow this pattern (may vary by locale):
Format Variations
| Region | Date Format | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| US | MM/DD/YY | [01/28/26, 9:15:32 AM] | |
| EU/UK | DD/MM/YYYY | [28/01/2026, 09:15:32] | |
| ISO | YYYY-MM-DD | [2026-01-28, 09:15:32] |
Special Message Types
- Media:
<Media omitted>or<image omitted>,<video omitted> - System: Messages without sender (e.g., "Alice added Bob to the group")
- Multi-line: Continuation lines without timestamp prefix
- Links: URLs embedded in message text
- Replies: May include quoted text with formatting
Instructions
Step 1: Read the Chat File
Step 2: Parse Messages Using Regex
Step 3: Extract Metadata
Step 4: Return Structured Output
Edge Cases
| Scenario | How to Handle | |
|---|---|---|
| System messages | Sender = "System" or skip | |
| Empty lines | Skip or treat as message separator | |
| Emoji-only messages | Parse normally, emoji preserved | |
| Very long messages | No truncation, preserve full content | |
| Non-UTF8 encoding | Try latin-1 fallback |
