Sneak Peek - New Tasker Features!
🕑 Added 2021-03-05 18:19:15 +0000 UTCCheck out this unreleased version of Tasker with 2 new exciting (at least for me 😜) features exclusively in early access for you!
Parse/Format DateTime
For the longest time people have been using the clunky Run Shell action to handle their time conversions/formattings (or maybe AutoTools which is a bit more robust). The time has come to leave all of that behind with the ultimate way to handle Date and Time conversions!
You can parse multiple dates and format them to any number of formats in a single action! Check out how you can easily get the local sunset and sunrise times in the example video above!
Arrays Merge
Sometimes you have multiple related arrays in Tasker that you want to use in a list somehow. For example, you could have an array with a band name and another with the year the band was formed. Now you can easily merge these into a single array to be displayed somewhere very easily!

Enjoy the early access and have a great weekend! 😁

I like the parse/format option! Got it going on my timer tasks, very handy indeed! Thanks for this 👍

Parse\format dates time is my favourite feature from one of these updates. Is time addition and subtraction a possible future action?
Robert Burton
Holy cow Batman.... that's some pretty useful features. Now I can see I'm going to have to go back through all my tasks so that I can change them all! Thanks for all the stuff you keep bringing us!

If I wanted to learn I'd got school 😁😁😁 I'm to old to do all that learning you speak of so highly!
João Dias
Well, at least you learned something before doing it the easy way! 😅
Mat
You always do this. Spent my day playing with time conversion from Unix to seconds from 0 😁😁😁
