Some considerable time ago - longer than I had hoped - I demonstrated an alternate implementation of the todo script, called task, in the form of a YouTube...
... That video makes it look very interesting - I especially like the structured output. Could you quickly summarize the differences between todo.sh and task? ...
... Here goes: - formatted output (tables, wrapping) - many more reports - more ways to list tasks - arbitrary number of tags - "active" tasks - calendar to...
... you, then maybe I should include one. You have .csv output, I notice - I didn't look if there was a similar import function, but I imagine that if there...
... I added a csv export, but because of the many possible formats out there, I never wrote an import. I'll put together something for todo.sh, but it will...
... I ... will ... CSV is simple to export but a b*tch to import correctly, especially when you have arbitrary data in non-English languages. Sometimes numbers...
I've just spent half a day getting this to build in cygwin (was a problem with my system - nothing to do with task). And I'm using it now. The youtube demo...
Richard, Thank you for the kind words! I'm interested in any cygwin difficulties you had. Do you think there is anything I need to change, so that task...
When I first installed this I was able to add task but was not displaying in task ls. I spotted this email and re installed now working beautifully. Feel like...
... Cygwin out of the box doesn't have a C++ compiler nor make, and they have to be manually selected during setup or update - most Cygwin dabblers probably...
Hi, I am not able to build task for Cygwin, can anybody build it and share. Thank You & Regards Sirish ... From: todotxt@yahoogroups.com...

... Thanks for that! I'll definitely give it a try soon. There's one thing that concerns me though: hackability. With scripts (whether shell, Python or...
On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 4:00 AM, Sirish Kumar B (RBEI/EDI2) ... I know enough to have built it, but I'm still dumb enough not to know enough how to share it. ;)...
... I see your point - scripts are often easier to tinker with. But I chose C++ for other reasons - portability, speed and lots of experience with C++. It's...
Would someone who has run/installed this software in Cygwin possibly write a how-to article on the subject for those of us who are not Cygwin experts? I'm...
Great write up. Thanks very, very much. I responded to the website, but just thought I'd drop a note here as well. The line that read: Type '.configure...
... I left a response on the blog, but maybe better we have the discussion here. Is the configure process finishing? If it is, does the last portion of the...
Thanks for the help. The last few lines of the ./configure command read as follows: Configure: creating ./configure.status Config.status: creating Makefile ...

It's working like a charm! Thanks again for all the help. From: todotxt@yahoogroups.com [mailto:todotxt@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Querin Sent:...
... I understand that. Just out of curiosity, could Task be ported to Windows without the need for Cygwin? By the way: A different, more identifiable name...
... Here's an approach: Using "egrep -o", the date could be extracted from a task. For example, the following returns "d:2008-06-09": echo "foo d:2008-06-09...
