iCal to CSV

Category: iCal to CSV,Nerd

So I have finally taken the hint and began development of an iCal (ICS file) to CSV converter.  I am still in the planning stages right now and don’t expect it to come out for a while.  I hope to have a beta version out in a few weeks.  I am just trying to decide how to format the output of the CSV file.  ICS allows for a great number of complexities not easily converted to CSV.  Such things as recurring events are a big hurdle to overcome.  I will post updates as I make progress.

    Очень интересно!!! Только не очень могу понять как часто обновляется ваш блог?

    Hi–

    I would love to know when you have this….even if it doesn’t include recurring events (iCal doesn’t do those well anyway)

    I need it and suspect other people do, too to import into an online based common calendar which only accepts csv files.

    There is a tool available here that I built which might be of help to people:

    It’s only simple (doesn’t support recurring events) but I find it useful for simple calendar -> excel conversion.

    I am about 50% there. I currently partially support recurring events. I think I’ll have a beta version available over the next few days. Stay tuned!

    Looking forward to the beta. This is a common request among my Mac support clients.
