You will need to create a class named ChatSesssion where it will have a constructor that will take in a parameter called filename. The file used is found here download. The constructor will create include the following variables:
self.numLines = 0
self.TagsList = []
self.MembersList = []
self.TimesList = []
self.UniqueMembersList = []
self.UniqueTagsList = []
self.MessageList = []
It should open the file and begin reading each line and populating the variables above in a for loop
f = open(filename, "r")
records = f.readlines()
for record in records:
............................
The file consists of Tags, Timestamps, Members, Users, and Messages. Because there are multiple members you will need to create a Unique members list that hold the name of the unique members as well as unique tags. The class should contain the following tags that will return the information above:
GetNumLines(self):
GetTagsList(self):
GetTimesList(self):
GetMembersList(self):
GetUserSysList(self):
GetUniqueMembersList(self):
GetUniqueTagsList(self):
GetMessageList(self):
Create an object to test out all the information above as follows:
sessionObj = ChatSessions('iphone_07_18-1.annot')
** Note: The file data is of the type:
T-1 20816 Eryn * entered the room.
where
T-1 is the tag
20816 is the timestamp
Eryn is the member
* (asterisk) is the UserSys symbol
entered the room. is the message
