Comment 3 for bug 378428

Thank you for reporting this bug and attaching the patch ...

Anyway I can't import my pidgin logs when using your patch. There are two problems (for .html log import):
1. My messages are surrounded by the </b></font> tags on the left and by the <br/> tag on the right. Regarding your code, it seems to me that your message starts _after_ the <br/> tag. Therefore the string beginMessage isn't found in line (historyimport.cpp::513) and so the resulting messageText is only rubbish.
2. I've got some cases where there are special formats inside the message. E.g. something like this:
<font color="#A82F2F"><font size="2">(22:12:33)</font> <b>Nick:</b></font> <font sml="AIM/ICQ">[MessageText]</font><br/>
In such cases your way of handling the logs doesn't filter out the <font ...> tag.

Don't you think it's better to use the QXmlStreamReader and adjust the code so that it supports your kind of pidgin logs? I was also asking myself how fast the use of QRegExp is in contrast to the xml-stream reader. (sorry for my poor english).

Can you tell me the structure of your logs? Or maybe supply me with some example logs? What a pity that pidgin's logs differ so much ....

Timo
