Most of you may know WhatsApp, a multi platform chat program for smartphones. One option is to have group chats, where all members see all messages and objects posted. I have two groupchats going since 2011. One is with my best friends, the other one with my family.

WhatsApp has a function to export the group chat messages as a txt file.

I have done the job once and converted one years group chat log into an ebook with MS Word and Calibre. It is quite a repetitive job to do the formatting. Overall, the result is nice and it is fun to read through old conversations on your favourite ebook reader. I manually imported some of the sent pictures and location links as well.
@franzvomsee - rather than implementing a new plugin, you might want to consider using this as a first step ==>> Function Mode for Search & Replace in the Editor

I'm thinking it could be way to prototype the functionality of a subsequent plugin, or indeed it may be sufficient in itself.

Function Mode S&R is a relatively new feature.
