User:Pathoschild/2008 RC feed format

< User:Pathoschild

This page documents the format used by the raw recent changes feeds on irc.wikimedia.org for use in developing CVNbot.

Every line in the feed is formatted using control codes, so that a script can parse each datum by splitting the message along control codes:

Perl 
@data = split(/\s*(?:�\d?\d?|�)\s*/, $rcMessage);
Python 
rc_delimiter = re.compile(r"\s*(?:\x03\d?\d?|\x03)\s*")
data = rc_delimiter.split(rcMessage)
