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>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Task makes a good effort to determine which of these formats a
|
|
file is. It does this by reading the file, and looking for
|
|
familiar patterns. For example, the easiest files to recognize
|
|
are those exported from task itself, because they all have a
|
|
header line that comes in only three variations. Other formats
|
|
are a little harder to identify, but they all have their own
|
|
identifying characteristics.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The most complex import is when a CSV file is recognized.
|
|
Task needs a field header line in order to map columns to task
|
|
data items. For example, the if the following file is
|
|
imported:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>number,status,task
|
|
1,pending,task one
|
|
2,pending,task two</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Task will map the "number" field to task's "id" field, etc,
|
|
based on name. Task has a list of synonyms that it uses to
|
|
map fields, but you can specify your own override with any of
|
|
the following configuration variables:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>import.synonym.id
|
|
<li>import.synonym.uuid
|
|
<li>import.synonym.status
|
|
<li>import.synonym.tags
|
|
<li>import.synonym.entry
|
|
<li>import.synonym.start
|
|
<li>import.synonym.due
|
|
<li>import.synonym.recur
|
|
<li>import.synonym.end
|
|
<li>import.synonym.project
|
|
<li>import.synonym.priority
|
|
<li>import.synonym.fg
|
|
<li>import.synonym.bg
|
|
<li>import.synonym.description
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that it is wise to backup your task data files
|
|
before an import.
