This is a quick'n'dirty AWK one-line script that successfully converted an irssi irc log into the tmsr format that the logotron uses.

1. The bash script expects one single parameter that is the starting index (i.e. the index of the first line in the log). E.g. ./convert.sh 100 will produce lines numbered 100, 101, 102 etc.

2. Examples of use:
  ./convert.sh 99384 < inputfile > outputfile
  sh convert.sh 10001 < inputfile > outputfile

3. Caveats:
  - based on the previous raw awk version published at http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-11#1927486 and tested *only* on one irssi log of #ossasepia (result can be seen at: deedbot.org/deed-589684-1.txt )
  - the converter works on the "out-of-the-box" irssi log format, as currently seen, for instance:

will produce (./convert.sh 2 < in.log > out.log)  as output:
