To explain the datetime mangling: | |
"The timestamps are not traditional timestamps of the number of seconds from 1/1/1970, but are instead based on the number of seconds from 1/1/2001 (so, there is a 31 year offset). So, we have to add the number of seconds in 31 years (978264705) to the timestamp to change it to a traditional timestamp giving the number of seconds from 1/1/1970." | |
Query below will pull a history of all message to and from the PHONE NUMBER specified. | |
sqlite3 CLI app is useful here: | |
.mode html | |
.output history.html | |
<queries> | |
This will redirect all results into a html table in the specified file. |
