qBittorrent official forums

I am considering moving from utorrent to qbittorrent.  In utorrent, I have over 250 rss rules. It took me quite a while, but I was able to, with a bencode editor and autohotkey, build a script that lets me export my rules to excel, modify them (sort, standardize changes for various types, etc.), and then import them back into utorrent. My solution is incredibly inelegant, but, at the end of the day, it gets the job done.  I can do what I need to do in excel in seconds what would take hours to achieve in the utorrent interface.

Even though I've invested a great deal of time into making utorrent's RSS work for me, between the ads, problems downloading very large files and other niggling issues, I'm ready to make the move.  The dealbreaker, though, is the ability to bring qbittorent's rss rules into excel- which I'm willing to take the time to script- BUT, I can't seem to find any app that will open the .rssrules file that qbittorrent exports.

Can .rssrules be edited, and, if so, what can I use to edit it?

Doesnt appear to be a "standard" database or flatfile.
Cant "coherantly" read it with excel (loads but it only creates entries in one column with seperation based on linesize as far as i can tell..)
Cant "coherantly" read it with sql and sqlite browsers. (incorrect format/errors)
Its not a XML file
Its not a CSV file.
Its not a MPQ format database.

It does however open in Windows Wordpad in a "readable" format.
It appears to use unicode symbols as breaks, but it doesnt look like a BEncode file.. glhf with it.

/e:
Had a quick look through rssdownloadrule.cpp & rssfeed.cpp and couldnt locate the export function/references to file types. (outoftime backtowork)
I dont believe "external human editing" was part of the scope for this segment honestly..

Personally when i migrated i didnt have this issue because i didnt setup complex download rules and my filters were just sort by keyword & version ;p

/e2: File output looks like its been regex'd then written as is??

An update for you if you're subscribed/come back to here.
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/5195

When/If this gets merged you will be able to directly import utorrent RSS rules.

Update: 3 years later and it looks like the utorrent rss import was never implemented, but I just downloaded the newest version of qbitorrent and it looks like rss rules are now in json format.  Yay, plain text ftw!

Thanks for your help.
