Is there a way to access Skype IM logs?

问题

I tried looking in C:\Users[name]\AppData\Roaming\Skype and I found a folder called "chatsync" with some mysterious folders with files ending in .dat. I'm almost certain that these are the chat logs but I don't know a way to properly open these files (notepad shows gibberish mixed with English words). I'm not trying to do sleuthing, just a project for my girlfriend.

So more importantly: how can I read Skype's .dat files properly?

There is a new, awesome app Skyperious; Skyperious can:

open local Skype SQLite databases and look at their contents:
search across all messages and contacts
browse, filter and export chat histories, see chat statistics
view any database table and and export their data
change, add or delete data in any table
execute direct SQL queries

You can also install SQLite for windows. Messages are stored as a SQLite database (several tables exist in the db - the 'Messages' table holds chat messages).

I know this is a fairly old thread, but I figured add some extra info,

I didn't really like the way the NirSoft Skype Log View is able to export the chat messages, so I kinda hacked together my own parser for it for fun - but I was slightly lazy to add it to any kind of source control mechanism, which might seem awkward, but that's okay.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/yp0r3r5c686ecrk/SkypeMessageParser.zip

I have included the JAR file and the source.

It takes the text file export of Skype Log View (created by the following command)

SkypeLogView.exe /SaveDirect /UseTimeRange 0 /logsfolder "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Skype\skypeusername" /stext "C:\Root\Downloads\skypelogview\log.txt"

which has the data format of this:

==================================================

Record Number     : 110

Action Type       : Chat Message

Action Time       : 2012.06.04. 22:31:08

End Time          : 

User Name         : l__i

Display Name      : N___L

Duration          : 

Chat Message      : messagegoeshere

ChatID            : #skypeid/$hashcode

Filename          : 

==================================================

And converts it into this:

[2012.06.04. 22:31:08] l_i (N___L): messagegoeshere

And it also takes the Chat ID and cuts the log up based on that into multiple files, so the chats don't end up mixing together.

For example,

  2012-06-05--l__i-z_n.txt (where the date is the date of the first message).

Usage:

java -jar SkypeMessageParser.jar [path of exported TXT file from SkypeLogViewer] [absolute path of output TXT file]

I hope someone finds this useful! :)

Note: the program expects a system date format of yyyy.MM.dd meaning it will crash if you have the format of dd/MM/yyyy.

As far as I know there is no way to open those files except with a utility. I've always used this one to read them:
