OmniPlan to TaskPaper AppleScript Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
My needs are simple, so it may be a little rough around the edges:

Code:
-- ver 0.3 2012-02-06 Exports an OmniPlan project to a TaskPaper project
--
-- Based on Rob Trew's OmniPlan to OmniFocus script
--
-- All activities (or those selected) in OmniPlan GUI transferred (with their descendants) 
-- into a new date-stamped project in new TaskPaper file.
-- #####
-- Posted: http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=23410
-- #####
-- 2012-02-05: added resources as TP Tags
-- 2012-02-06: fixed bug with date formatting
-- 2012-02-06: Combined two scripts into one (still a lot of similar looking code)
-- #####
-- TODO integrate with OP as an export type - possible?
--	Can params be passed in to configure output?

on run
	-- Choose One:
	--createStructure()
	createDateList()
end run

-- Create a TP document resembling the OmniPlan project structure
on createStructure()

	if length of lstTasks > 0 then
		createTPStructure(docName, lstTasks)

	end if
end createStructure

-- Create a TP document with leaf tasks organised by day
on createDateList()
	set {docName, lstTasks} to readPlanDateList()

This is my first attempt at AppleScript, so apologies if there are any laugh out loud gaffes in there...
