This is not exactly the best way to use Perl. However, I wanted to create it as simple and readable as I possibly could so that others would be able to modify the code to better suit them.
Notes
- Emojis would only show up when viewing the pages in Safari.
- Images are visible within the message threads, but all other content is linked.
Basic steps:
- Make a directory somewhere
mkdir ~/Desktop/iOSBackup - Add backup.pl and iOSSMSBackup.pm to this directory
- I reccomend copying your iTunes backup into your ~/Desktop/iOSBackup folder, just in case something bad happens (as I am not responsible for your misfortunes). Run backup.pl passing the backup directory.
perl backup.pl --directory_path 9b9f73759fad7b31e330dd26bf7f745acccf1869/ - An _export folder will be created in your working directory with all of your files!
