chat2xl: Create excel file from Zoom chat file

In gmonette/gnew: New functions for spida2

Create excel file from Zoom chat file

Description

Reads a Zoom "chat.txt" file (recorded portion of meeting) or a "meeting_saved_chat.txt" file (entire meeting) and writes a '.xlsx' Excel file in which lines are sorted by participant and by time.

Usage

chat2xl(file, outfile = NULL, overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

file	chat file, usually "chat.txt" or "meeting_saved_chat.txt"
outfile	default 'file' with '.txt' suffix replaced with .xlsx
overwrite	will an existing ".xlsx" file be overwritten, default FALSE

Details

When a participant submits a chat message in multiple lines, the subsequent lines may not be identified with the name of the participant, or they may be separated by other chat submissions from other participants. chat2xl resolves these problems and creates a file in which all submissions are labelled with the identifier of the participant and and ordered by participant and by time. When viewed, the excel file can be reordered by time if desired.
