Does the data include any kind of time stamp? It'd be quite easy to write something in Javascript to order them by date if you like. (Javascript so you can run it in your web-browser and not have to send me your entire chat history ha)

Clare is so close to Kerry, yet I've never been. I imagine it's pretty much exactly the same though.

It did actually! I had the same idea and was kicking myself for being so shit at C, haha! I'm grand though, thanks for the offer! I'm going to try and teach myself some C++ over the summer and I'll probably use this as a little starter project!

I was in Kerry a few times growing up, I always thought it was prettier than Clare! Just last summer I was around Rossbeigh, absolutely loved it.

Clare is like Kerry, but with less mountains and the accent isn't as fun.

I've never done C++, I probably will sometime in the future but I think Regular Expressions, or 'Regex' will be helpful. It's used for finding 'patterns' in text. Here is a very helpful site to learn/test it.

And a relevant xkcd to get you started :P

I hate the accent here! Nobody understands me no matter how I say anything. I only roughly got the hang of understanding and it's easier to use hand gestures than to talk to people.
