As far as I understand it .ics /iCalendar is formatted like this ... BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN BEGIN:VEVENT UID:u...@example.com DTSTAMP:19970714T170000Z ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:john....@example.com DTSTART:19970714T170000Z DTEND:19970715T035959Z SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party GEO:48.85299;2.36885 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar That structure looks the same as a simple TiddlyWiki Data Dictionary (ContentType: application/x-tiddler-dictionary ) (see https://tiddlywiki.com/#DataTiddlers:DataTiddlers%20DictionaryTiddlers) It would be a matter of creating a macro to read the data and assemble it in the layout you wanted. And the date fields could be read (DTSTAMP,DTSTART,DTEND) and converted to TW style. .ics data can be very rich so part of issue would be determining the "fields" you needed. It may be someone has done it already for TW because its not a fantastically difficult problem and I vaguely remember someone did, either for this or, similar, .vcf cards. But a question remains about the utility in TW. I mean you get the data. So what you gonna DO with it? :-) Best wishes TT On Wednesday, 13 November 2019 23:39:30 UTC+1, Brian Litman wrote: > > Further to the theme of portability and privacy (especially if encrypted) > I wonder if there exists any historical work on a converter that will read > an *.ics calendar file and turn it into a "Date-Formatted" Tiddler? > > If I could code, I'd write it myself. > > TiddlyWiki is my new attempt to liberate myself from the tyranny of Apple, > Google and Microsoft-readable data (in the areas their AI knows to look!) > > Further encryption will really do the job "good enough". > > Any experienced users with ideas? > > Kindly, >>> B <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
