#
|
||||
|
||||
**1.** Open a text editor such as Notepad and paste:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Info: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki
|
||||
|
||||
$TOKEN = "<token>"
|
||||
$TOKENTYPE = "<BOT/USER>"
|
||||
$CHANNEL = "<channel>"
|
||||
$EXEPATH = "<exe>"
|
||||
$FILENAME = "<name>"
|
||||
$EXPORTDIRECTORY = "<dir>"
|
||||
$EXPORTFORMAT = "<format>"
|
||||
# Available export formats: PlainText, HtmlDark, HtmlLight, Csv
|
||||
|
||||
cd $EXEPATH
|
||||
|
||||
If($TOKENTYPE -match "BOT"){$ISBOTYES = "-b"}
|
||||
Else{$ISBOTYES = ""}
|
||||
.\DiscordChatExporter.Cli.exe export -t $TOKEN $ISBOTYES -c $CHANNEL -f $EXPORTFORMAT -o exporttmp
|
||||
|
||||
$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MMM-dd HH-mm"
|
||||
|
||||
If($EXPORTFORMAT -match "PlainText"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.txt"}
|
||||
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlDark"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
|
||||
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "HtmlLight"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.html"}
|
||||
ElseIf($EXPORTFORMAT -match "Csv"){mv exporttmp -Destination "$EXPORTDIRECTORY\$FILENAME-$Date.csv"}
|
||||
exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2.** Replace:
|
||||
|
||||
`<token>` with your [Token](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
|
||||
|
||||
`<BOT/USER>` If the Token is from a bot replace it with `BOT`, if it's from a user, `USER`
|
||||
|
||||
`<channel>` with a [Channel ID](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Obtaining-Token-and-Channel-IDs)
|
||||
|
||||
`<exe>` with the .exe directory path (e.g. C:\Users\User\Desktop\DiscordChatExporter)
|
||||
|
||||
`<name>` with a filename without spaces
|
||||
|
||||
`<dir>` with the export directory (e.g. C:\Users\User\Documents\Exports)
|
||||
|
||||
`<format>` with one of the available export formats
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure not do delete the quotes (")
|
||||
|
||||
**3.** Save the file as `filename.ps1` not `.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Export at Startup
|
||||
|
||||
**1.** Press Windows + R, type `shell:startup` and press ENTER

|
||||
|
