TodoTxtNet 1.0.3

TodoTxtNet

A library for reading and writing todo.txt files in .NET

Introduction

The todo.txt format is an informally defined standard for representing tasks and other to-do items in a simple plaintext file.

Having a library to read and write todo.txt files may seem contradictory but could be useful in several circumstances.

Using this Library

To parse a todo.txt file on your local machine:

var todoList = TodoTxtList.FromFile(@"C:\Users\username\Desktop\todo.txt");

To create a new to-do item and write it to a file:

var newTodo = new TodoTxt();
newTodo.Description = "Thank Mom for the meatballs @phone";
newTodo.Priority = 'A';
var newTodoList = new TodoTxtList(newTodo);
newTodoList.SaveToFile(@"C:\Users\username\Desktop\newTodo.txt")

The newTodo.txt file now contains this line:

(A) Thank Mom for the meatballs @phone

To filter the todoList parsed above, use the various extension methods:

var superImportantTodos = todoList.Priorities('A', 'B')
                                  .ForContext("Work")
                                  .ForProject("NewClient")
                                  .Incomplete();

The variable superImportantTodos now contains the filtered and sorted to-do list.
