Folks, I have used toodledo.com and other online tools which export their contents as xml.
You may be aware that xml uses a simple system for representing data eg <startdate>0</startdate> and it can be nested (see tasks/task below) It seems to me it should be easy to take any given xml and use a method to parse it into tiddlers and their fields. If a field name needs to be changed a search and replace should "fix the data" See also the locations, whose id is stored in the tasks. We should be able parse these (in a separate process if necessary) such that we have location tiddlers that can be linked to or looked up from the task tiddler. Basically I think we need to chose which field to use as the title and which other fields to import or include in the text. With a little careful design it should be simple to provide the tools to do this, and open a great deal of power, especially if we can also generate the xml for tiddlers for export. It need not be interactive. For example if I could say something like this xmllist sourcetiddler items=task title=title text=note fieldfilter="[all[]] -[prefix[time]]" from sourcetiddler extract <task> items using their title field as the tiddler title, place note into text, and make a field with its value for all others defined by fieldfilter. *Has anyone looked into this or seen any activity on it?* Regards Tony <locations> <location><id>106960</id><lat>-33.900589</lat><lon>151.196457</lon><name>Alexandria park</name><desc></desc></location> </locations> <tasks> <task> <id>324412672</id> <date_added>1368964800</date_added> <date_modified>1399682850</date_modified> <via>7</via> <parent>0</parent> <order>0</order> <title>Coaxial cable to test voxson</title> <tag></tag> <folder>3154339</folder> <context>0</context> <goal>0</goal> <location>23515</location> <startdate>0</startdate> <starttime>0</starttime> <duedate>0</duedate> <remind>0</remind> <duedatemod>0</duedatemod> <duetime>0</duetime> <completed>0</completed> <repeatfrom>0</repeatfrom> <repeat></repeat> <priority>0</priority> <length>0</length> <timeron>0</timeron> <timer>0</timer> <status>0</status> <star>0</star> <note>Tv to voxson after fix voxson Only front right working with any speaker Front left worked momentarily.</note> </task> </tasks> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
