I've been looking for a way to convert my NBU backups to plain text /
CSV formats because i've developed this database application for my
own use, w/c organizes all my sms archives neatly...
All was dandy using PC Suite since its communication center had a
feature to export message to excel directly, and i can easily parse
that..but when OVI came that wasnt the case anymore :(
Anywho, I am most interested in your app, but found the following
flaws:
1) There doesnt seem to be a way of telling if message is RECEIVED or
SENT.. (i can not organize my received and sent messages)
2) The exported format is hard to parse. wish there was a standard CSV
format for it
Thanks for trying Noki!
On your questions:

For converted .txt file, there's segment header like this:
[- TEXT MESSAGES: 13 -]
[- INBOX: 7 -]
...
[- SENT: 6 -]
...
For converted .xls (Excel workbook) file, each box is sorted into
different worksheet tabs.

The .txt format is easy to parse - it's unicode in UCS2 encoding for
multi-language support. Of course, if you have a .xls reader, it can
be easily coverted to .csv format.
Hope this helps.
