How do I use the export tool that's also in the files?

I want to export the messages in my phone to a .csv file.

How rude of me, I forgot to say please ;-)

Can some one please explain how to export messages from the N900 to a .csv file?

navigate to the place you've placed the extracted tool and type:

Code:

chmod +x smsexporter
./smsexporter backup.csv

Hmm I use this now:

cd /home/user/
chmod +x smsexporter

But it gives me the error: no such file or directory. I have put the file in the map data on my phone. That should be /home/user/ right?

It's /home/user/MyDocs

If I understand correctly, then do only once:

Code:

cd /home/user/
cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsexporter .
chmod +x smsexporter

thereafter everytime you want to send all sms to csv do:

Code:

./smsexporter backup.csv

hope it helps

I'm still getting the same error.

Why is the map tree on the device totally different than I see it on the computer? And why do I have to cd to a map I can't see on the device?

If I use the filebrowser I can't find home/user/ really weird.

ok, the info you give is not enough for me to understand where you are and what you do.

change of direction,
try this http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/glogarchive/
it will though export all calls and sms in one file.

Great, I'll try it :-) Thanks for all the help :-)

Hopefully I can import them again in Meego later on. I want to try it out.

smsexporter is giving me this error:

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: librtcom-eventlogger.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

can anyone give me some help? Thanks

EDIT: sorry, got it. latest versions are not in the first post.
Great job on this thing. I just wished it would add them in the proper order.
