converting many ics files to a single org file

converting many ics files to a single org file

Hello,

I'm using vdirsyncer to keep a local copy of my calendars. I would 
now
like to have them in org-mode, so I'm looking for a tool to do the
conversion. One important constraint is that, by default, 
vdirsyncer
generates one ics file for each event. I've found this tool
https://github.com/asoroa/ical2org.py but it's not clear if it can
handle many files.

Do you have suggestions for such a workflow? I could try to 
concatenate
the files, but I probably need a tool for that.

Best,

Alan

As per its docstring it's one file per invocation.  But the docstring
also lists:

$ cat in.ical | ical2orgpy - - > out.org

I haven't tried, but something like this might work (on Unixoids):

$ echo -n > out.org
$ for i in *.ical; do cat $i | ical2orgpy - - >> out.org; echo >> out.org; done

Regards

Thomas

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.

The golang ical2org (https://github.com/rjhorniii/ical2org) definitely
does this.

It seems to have many features that I would use. Thanks!
