I sent this out last tuesday and no responses so far, just about 5 people emailing me to ask if I had gotten any answers which tells me there is a lot of interest in this question. If anyone has any knowledge in this subject matter, please do tell the rest of us as we are eager for an answer . . .
thanks, tim p.s. several people asked about the vCal standard -- it can be found here: http://www.imc.org/pdi/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 5:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Import Appointments into Outlook using Perl and vCalendar Hello all, At our lab we constantly have emails sent out in the form: 7-15 Jan Testing of Product X (POC: Joe Smith) Room 265 2 Jan Leaders Meeting (POC: John Doe) Room 121 8 Jan Review (POC: Tom) Room 30 I am trying to take these word documents and create some time of vCalendar file so I can automatically import all of these dates into a personal information manager (such as Outlook or Palm). As it is everyone is laboriously adding these things to their respective calendars or manually inputting this information into Outlook. Does anyone know of a module that takes inputs and generates vCalendar files. Is there a better way to do this? Any thoughts? tim
