Import from text file

EdHaren

sorry if i caused confusion. the app I was using has no way to export data. It is no longer in the app store so when i update my phone - i lose daily data since mid 2019. So i entered all data in a spreadsheet and formatted the date to duplicate your example.
What i need is the format so that I can import into your app and do i save as a .txt file or ,csv. also do i import using
-- IMPORT DIARY
or
-- MIGRATE FROM ANOTHER APP [i don't have another app that exports...]
tks much / Ed

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert an xml to csv?

Just bought the app. Still need do move many years from EfficientDiary to Diarium. I can export a csv and convert it to any given format with small Python script. However, a good specification for some csv format would be very helpful. Since i have none of the supported diaries, i did trial and error. A bit tedious. So far i found out that the following works quite well for me using Daylio import:

except that it appears in Diarium as a single line. So what would be the newline markup in the Daylio csv?

LotharKappen You can install the Daylio app, make an entry with a newline, do an export and have a look at it 😉

Hello everyone,
I used another journaling app called Writeaday for more than 5 years. I managed to move all my 4000+ entries to Diarium by exporting all my Writeaday entries from the app and then parsing the .txt file it gave me to a .csv file with the same format used by Daylio. I then opened Diarium > Settings > Diary > Migrate from other app > Daylio, selected the .csv file and... all my entries are imported correctly!

I'll leave the Python script I wrote here so it can be used by other Writeaday users who wish to migrate to Diarium:
