How can I write a program that will extract the messages from irc channels in a text format? I would like to save and search this text offline. Anyone knows how I could do that, what language I could use (perl, c)? Any links, articles, books suggestions would be appreciated.
Also would that be a 'bot' and therefore banned from some channels?
Actual I think this as part of an academic project so I would rather build from sratch (even if I have to re-invent the wheel). Also I prefer working with lower level languages and I have experience with network programming using C. Also I have some experience with Perl but need to read more on it.
I' ll have a look on those links.
