parse iCalendar (rfc2445) recurrence rules into a Schedule?
Hi - Is there a package that will convert an iCalendar (*.ics file, rfe2445) VEVENT and its recurrence/exclusion rules/dates into a Schedule in pharo or squeak or gemstone? I've seen the iCal package on Squeaksource but it doesn't seem to interpret the RRULEs into anything other than their constituent parts. Thanks Paul
Hi paul I do not know if there is a parser. What I know is that the package on ss was developed during lecture I gave at bern and used in DabbleDB (I do not know if they extended it - probably). Stef On Dec 6, 2012, at 8:11 PM, Paul DeBruicker wrote:

Hi Stef, Thanks for getting back to me. That library does 90% of what I want so I'll take a look at adding the last 10% sometime. was just hoping to be able to skip adding the last 10% Paul On 12/06/2012 01:21 PM, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:

:) But now thinking about it, there was a project to add rules to calendar and I wonder if there was not a parser. http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Promotion/PastActions there iCal support but I do not know where the code is. Probably on squeak source

Hi paul I looked around and I found iCalendar, vCalendar and vCard I imagine that this is the one you found. And indeed Yann Monclair worked on ical. Stef On Dec 6, 2012, at 8:11 PM, Paul DeBruicker wrote:

I uploaded a version of the ICal package that successfully parses and enumerates occurrences of events from .ics files. The tests primarily come from all of the RRULE examples in the RFC2445 spec here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#page-117 It does match the output from those tests and does work with exports from Google Calendar. I've not tried with Outlook etc. I expect it to work with those. I haven't started actually using it but plan to in the next couple days and will probably make some convenience additions to the ICEvent class to test for and get enumerated dates. I also made a Configuration and put it here: http://www.squeaksource.com/ical and in the http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository

Thanks this is great to see more configurations :) I love that. Because this is our weapon against complexity. We are working on a tool to help building and updating configurations and soon we will need beta testers :) Stef On Dec 13, 2012, at 2:51 AM, Paul DeBruicker wrote:
