Anyone done any iCalendar work?

[Gazdaman]

I know this may out-geek what is essentially a motorbike forum! But I thought I'd try anyway.

I'm trying to write a .ics file to enter entries into a calendar every 10 days.

That's not too bad, it looks like this:

I dont do a lot of scripting but could you not use a conditional variable if thats supported in the code your using?

If var= thursday; friday; saturday'

Then

run whatyouwanttodo.script

I would, if one one existed in this particular language. Good thought anyway.

If it is every 10 days they will always fall in the same order e.g. If your 1st day is today (monday)

10 days would be Thu, then Sun Wed Sat Tue Fri and back to monday. Can you exploit that in some way?

What if you did it every 70 days and had 7 VEVENTS? (4 of one type and 3 different ones for Thur, Fri and Sat.)

Just a thought

Hmm, I like the way you think.

The scripting interface seems fairly crappy for the .ics file type. But if I used some other sort of scripting language I could work it out.

Basically eventually I want to write this into an iPhone app.
But with iPhones not being able to have things running in the background it's fairly useless. Hence I'm just trying to write them all into the calendar automagically.

I've done it at the moment with the first script, and I'm just editing thurs/fri/sats manually.

It's a start.
