Dave7 2 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 My tasks in Toodledo have fields for Location, Context, Status, and Folder. Toodledo exports to CSV and XML. The CSV export has a column for each field and a row for each task. How may I convert each task to a note in Evernote with each Location corresponding to the Evernote Notebook of the note and with the Context, Status, and Folder field values as tags of the note?

What platform are you using (PC/Mac)? This would be easy to do on a Mac using AppleScript.
Dave7 2 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Thank you for your reply. I'm using a Mac, but I do not know any AppleScript.

Perfect - you have the opportunity to break into Applescript with a simple task, and the assistance or people in the forum This is a good thing. There are working scripts on the web, and I have some samples I can share.

Dave7 2 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Well, I'm not really a developer. I was hoping there was a tool out there already that could parse CSV rows into notes.
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,119 Posted March 1, 2016 Level 5* Posted March 1, 2016 @Dave7, you don't have to be a developer. AppleScript was designed for Mac users, not for Mac developers. OK, well maybe for Mac power users. IAC, do a google search on Evernote AppleScript csv . Here's a typical result: Import CSV into Evernote as Separate Notes (Text Lists, Too!)
Dave7 2 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Thank you very much for this useful information. That's essentially what Evernote Support said with less detail and a form letter.
