Hello,

I just downloaded Yowsup 2.0 and logged in through the command line using yowsup-cli demos -y option...

My question is...

I logged and and all my messages just flashed and paged down... I logged out and logged back in.
How do I fetch/see my old messages?

Thanks!

TU

You can't. Messages are only stored in the server until you receive them, once you got the messages, the server doesn't stores it and you can't see them anymore.

What you can do, its a database and save your messages there.

Ouch! I just lost my 10-day messages !!

I just did /login, and there was this stream of messages that just flashed, and filled the screen. With insufficient history-page size, was not even able to page-up to view the messages. Should be more careful next time, its like nuking the messages :-)!

Thanks for the information!

you shouldn't use demos. it's only demos. you should write own solution based on demos code.

To recover your messages from console output, you could use this regular expression:

\[(?P<senderid>[0-9]*)\/(?P<groupid>[0-9]*-[0-9]*)@g.us\((?P<datetime>(?:[0-9]{2}\-){2}2015 [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})\)\]:\[(?P<id>[A-Z0-9a-z]{13}|.*)\]\t (?P<body>.*)\nMessage (?P=id): Sent delivered receipt\n\[connected]:
