Hi
Have just recently hacked up (literally given my dodgy coding skills!)
a perl scipt that manages the mobileGTD file structure thru the
command line on a linux box. I've based the idea on todo.txt (http://
todotxt.com/). It doesn't use any of the existing config files for
mobileGTD. All done in ubuntu linux, so no idea if it works in windows
etc with activeperl etc.I don't handle sub-directories with the
folders as my own personal usage is fairly basic.
Here it is:
http://planetnz.com/palmheads/files/gtd.txt
Its just been hacked up, so probably lots of bugs, but seems to mostly
work for me. chmod +x to make it executable etc in your bin/
directory, rename it to gtd.pl.
gtd.pl help
cheers
Daryn

Nice work!
And pretty readable code for perl! 
A while ago I also started an implementation in Ruby (best programming language + great libraries called gems) called GTDFiles:
If you have tested your script for a while I will also post it on the web site.
Cheers

freebsd.

I think except for the $basedir variable the script could run in windows, too.
You can use ActivePerl as a Perl interpreter.

Yeah Martin, I think your right. If you made the basedir path "C:
\fdgdfg\" etc it would probably work in windows. The only other thing
would be I make some system calls occasionally (file manipulation
etc), so that would also require changes. But easy enough for someone
with windows to debug.

Cheers Martin - yeah i saw that ruby project! that also inspired me to
do my wee script.
I also hate when people make perl unreadable!
Let me use my script for a few weeks & see if it works. I'II let you
know when I think its useable by others!!! :-)
