Could you paste a hand history of the format you'd want converted?

I wouldn't charge to code it if it was requested by alot of people.

Of course you wouldn't get acess to source code nor a product that would be easy to sell(It would have a serial and work for you only).

Although im not a programmer by trade or anything, Just a 18 year old who taught himself when he was 12.

What features out of interest?

Depends how long i'm looking at to code it and the potential reward etc.

I was considering writing a hand converter for every site avalible just not sure if anyone would buy it/need it.

Seeing as i can make a bit playing poker with my time, or be having fun i wouldnt code a worthless program.

As somebody who has spent more time decoding hand histories and programming this exact kind of software, I can say that adding support for PokerRoom isn't that horrible:

*PokerRoom puts money in pot amounts next to all actions, which is nice and easy

*PokerRoom includes uncalled bets in the final pot size, which is nice and easy

Other than using a non newline delineated format, there is nothing particularly nastly about it.

However, I will say I have never looked at all the worst case situations, so I have no idea how multiple blinds, split pots and other situations are handled, and one bad case can make the whole decoder a bitch to program.

Hah, actually I just needled around this database format. I was always concerned with the ASCII hands for PokerGrader, but this database format is hilarious.

Doesn't look too complicated though, just have to decode everything.

I just spent some time with it also. It is pretty amusing, and extreme overkill.

I probably won't be bothering with extracting Pokerroom histories. I just can't see it being worthwhile. I spend my entire day mucking about in databases, and this just holds no attraction for me.
