tasker_config_utils VS dopamine-2020

I'm referring to this utils

You can also pass description to the generate_info command of tasker_config_utils to get detailed info of task with the description included.

You can use tasker_config_utils task description option of generate_info command for that.

XML editing is the way to go if you can understand how tasker XML works. Check Tasker XML Info for some details. I do it quite often to modify hundreds of actions/tasks which would otherwise take days and weeks to manually edit, possibly with lots of typos/mistakes. When adding literal values, make sure to convert ascii characters to XML special characters like & to '&', < to '<' and > to '>' like tasker_config_utils does in reverse when reading, otherwise XML would break.

Also after going through tasker_config_utils that's pretty amazing!

It's not the printing that's the issue, it's actually reading the xml. I'm using sed command to read the xml nodes with regexes, line by line, so indentation of each node and sub node is very important to know when each node ends safely. There are utilities available for xml parsing but they might not work as easily for the craziness I'm doing. Also sed makes it very easy to get or match tags above and below something with regexes, something like that would likely not be that easy to implement with xml parsers easily if at all. Running random regexes to get random stuff is pretty easy this way.

No Thanks! I already have enough horror stories to last a lifetime :p
