For the Moment MrProjext can be got from 2 locations:

mrprojext 1.3.1

Purpose:
  MrProjext is a MrProject-Databasefile-Extractor and -Converter:
  It can search the tasks belonging to a specific timeslot or recource. 
  And (as converter) it can rewrite the extracted result as MrProject-, 
  Evolution-, Yank- or Pilot-File

This means that MrProjext ...

• ... reads the master-db-content either out of a file or from stdin. (Hence MrProjext can be integrated into pipes like other unix tools.)
• ... can restrict the extraction onto tasks being dedicated to a person (recource) or a (recource) group
• ... can restrict the extraction onto tasks touching a specific timeslot
• ... can restrict the extraction onto tasks being still unfullfilled.
• ... can rewrite the dates of the extracted tasks in form of an iso8601-string (20021224T180000) or in form of the german date style (24.12. 18.00)
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks either as flat list of only those (most embedded) tasks which really must be fullfilled or as tree of all tasks and their subtasks
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a new MrProject database xmlfile which can directly be loaded into MrProject.
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a directly usable a memo-text-file (which can for example be integrated into a mail or as pilot-memo into a palm)
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a directly usable palm-pilot-todofile
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a vcf-file, (which can for example be integrated into «Evolution» [tasks.ics] or «Gnomecal» [user-cal.vcf])
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a directly usable a «Yank»-file (which can be directly loaded by «Yank»)
• ... can rewrite the extracted tasks in form of a comma seperated todo-line-list
• ... can rewrite a total survey of all tasks in form of a directly usable htmlpage

Some of these features can't be combined with other features. In those cases the combination would be senseless. Ok, here is a little table:

Output Style	Limit to Timeslot	Limit to Person	Limit to Group	Only Open Tasks	Rewrite IsoTimeString	Only most Embedded Tasks
--rwMrPrjFile	+	+	+	+	-	-
--rwMemoFile	+	+	+	+	+	+
--rwPilotFile	+	+	+	+	+	+
--rwVcardFile	+	+	+	+	-	+
--rw«Yank»File	+	+	+	+	-	+
--rw«Yank»File	+	+	+	+	-	+

MrProject and MrProjext use iso8601-strings of the form YYYYMMDDThhmmss for determining a date. A timeslot is a pair of such strings. The begin of the timeslot must be earlier than the end of the timeslot. A task is touched by the timeslot if it doesn't end before the timeslot starts and if it doesn't start after the end of the timeslot.

Example: Assume, we are managing two tasks. Gifts shall be bought before christmas (20021201T120000 ... 20021223T180000) and be given away at christmas (20021224T120000 ... 20021226T180000):

• Assume we want to extract the tasks of the second december week using the command

  mrprojext -s 20021207T120000 -e 20021215T120000 -f christmas.mrproject

  Then MrProjext will extract only the task to buy christmas gifts whereby its startpoint will be set onto 20021207T120000 and its endpoint onto 20021215T120000.

• Assume we want to extract the tasks of some of the last december days using the command

  mrprojext --timeSlotStart=20021225T160000 --timeSlotEnd=20021228T130000

  Then MrProjext reads the master database file from stdin and extracts only the task to give away the christmas gifts whereby its startpoint will be set onto 20021225T160000 without changing its endpoint.

• Assume we want to extract the tasks of the third december week using the command

  mrprojext -s 20021218T160000 -e 20021225T130000 -f christmas.mrproject

  Then MrProjext will extract both tasks whereby the startpoint of the task «buy gifts» will be set onto 20021218T160000 and the endpoint of the task «give away the gifts» will be set onto the 20021225T130000

MrProject uses identifiers for determining named recources. You can order MrProjext to extract only those tasks which shall be fullfilled by a person (recource) by specifying such a name (not an identifier) as commandline argument.

Example: Assume, we are managing two tasks. Gifts shall be bought before christmas by the mother and shall be given away at christmas by the father.

• Assume we want to extract the tasks of the mother by using the command

  mrprojext -p mother -f christmas.mrproject

  Then MrProjext will extract only the task to buy christmas gifts

MrProject allows to link persons to (recource) groups. You can order MrProjext to extract only those tasks which shall be fullfilled by any of the persons of a (recource) group. In this case you have to specify the name of the group as commandline argument.

Example: Assume, we are managing three tasks. Christmas Gifts shall be bought by the mother and shall be given away by the father but shall be unpacked by the children. And assume, that only the mother and the father are member of the group «parents»

• Assume we want to extract the tasks of the mother and the father by using the command

  mrprojext -g parents -f christmas.mrproject

  Then MrProjext will extract only the tasks to buy christmas gifts and to give them away.

For each task MrProject allows to specify the degree of fullfillness. (Certainly some of these values will later be computed on the base of other values). A value of 100 means that the task has totally been fullfilled. You can extract the unfillfilled tasks using the commandline option --onlyOpenTasks.

Example:

• mrprojext --onlyOpenTasks -p mother -f christmas.mrproject

  In this case only the open tasks of the mother will be extracted.

MrProjext allows to declare tasks as subtasks of other tasks. So you get a tree of tasks. You may interpret the most embedded tasks as those which you have to fullfill for having fullfilled the more complex tasks. In such cases it might be good to get a list of only those tasks which really must be fullfilled:

Example:

• mrprojext --rwOnlyLeafs -f christmas.mrproject

Using the command

mrprojext --rwMemoFile --rwIso8601 -f christmas.mrproject

Using the command

mrprojext --rwHtmlSurvey -f christmas.mrproject

For being able to decide wether a task should already have been fullfilled or not, mrprojext uses a speficic reference date. If you don't specify such a reference date, mrprojext takes the actual timestamp of your computer. For being able to specify a specific reference date you can use the commandline argument

mrprojext --rwHtmlSurvey --evaluationDate==YYYYMMDDThhmmss -f christmas.mrproject

MrProjext uses the following commandline options for determining those tasks, which shall be extracted:
