<h2 class="title">Data Import</h2>
<div class="content">
<p>
Tasks can be imported from files with this command:
<pre><code>% task import file</code></pre>
A variety of different file types are recognized by task, namely:
<ul>
<li>Tasks exported from task prior to version 1.5.0.
<li>Tasks exported from task version 1.5.0 and later. The file
format changed with 1.5.0.
<li>todo.sh files.
<li>CSV files with a variety of recognized column names.
<li>Plain text files, with one task listed per line.
<li>Task command line format.
</ul>
Task makes a good effort to determine which of these formats a
file is, and then imports accordingly.
</p>
<p>
It would be wise to backup your task data files before an import.
