thanks for your help
the way you use it to do what you want.
1) move all your backups to /home/user/MyDocs/sms-backup
2) add ".sms" to all the backups there
3) run "perl n9-sms-tool.pl split" to populate sms-backup-repo
4) change "30 days ago" in the script to whatever you like.
to do all messages, change it to "jan 1 1970".
5) run "perl n9-sms-tool.pl join" to make a file called "filtered.sms" in sms-backup
6) run smsbackuprestore import filtered.sms
