Importing Steps

[Adel Khayata]

Hi.
I am new to Tasker.
Some times I find some code like the following:

Profile: Wi-Fi Connected (47)
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:* MAC:* IP:* ]
Enter: Anon (48)
A1: Variable Split [ Name:%WIFII Splitter: Delete Base:Off ] 
A2: Notify [ Title:Wi-Fi Text:SSID: %WIFII4 strenght: %WIFII11 Icon:<icon> Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:3 ] 

=================

Profile: Wi-Fi A->B (43)
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:A MAC:* IP:* ]
State: Variable Value [ Name:%WIFII11 Op:Maths: Less Than Value:6 ]
Enter: Anon (44)
A1: WiFi Net [ Action:Reconnect Force:Off Report Failure:Off ] 
A2: SSID Selector [ Configuration:B Package:ultimatesoftware.nw.SSIDSelector Name:SSID Selector ] 

==================

Profile: Wi-Fi B->A (50)

State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:B MAC:* IP:* ]
State: Variable Value [ Name:%WIFII11 Op:Maths: Less Than Value:6 ]
Enter: Anon (51)
A1: WiFi Net [ Action:Reconnect Force:Off Report Failure:Off ] 
A2: SSID Selector [ Configuration:A Package:ultimatesoftware.nw.SSIDSelector Name:SSID Selector ] 

=================

But I don't know how to import this text into Tasker :(

I tried to save it in prf.xml file but it didn't work.

Would you please help me do it?

Hi Adel,

The "code" you found is actually not code, but Tasker generated descriptions of the steps of a profile or task. They can not be imported, but they can be used as a sort of step by step guide to build a useful task or profile.

There are a lot of tutorials to help you learn how to use Tasker. Tasker comes in to different versions. The original version is for android 2.3.3 and earilier. Another version has been created for android 4.0+. Most of the documentation is for the original version.

I would suggest you watch several youtube tutorial videos to get a feel for how things are done in tasker.

If you have the new version of tasker, start with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDpdS_YWzFc

Check out this guide: http://www.pocketables.com/tag/beginners-guide-to-tasker

Which version of Tasker are you using?

I should add that there are many tasker projects that include files which can be imported. A good source of these can be found at http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index

A new beginners guide was made available last night. 

I highly recommend it.
