.B Q: Does task support searching using regular expressions?
|
|
||||||
Yes, taskwarrior supports IEEE Std 1003.2 (POSIX.2) regular expressions, but not
|
|
||||||
by default. You must enable this feature with the following command:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ task config regex on
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once enabled, all searches are considered regular expressions, for example:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ task list ^the
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
will list all tasks whose description or annotations start with "the".
|
|
||||||
Substitutions also support regular expressions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ task 1 /^the/The/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that regular expressions work in conjunction with the
|
|
||||||
.B search.case.sensitive
|
|
||||||
configuration setting.
