SCHEDULE duration not honored in iCalender export

SCHEDULE duration not honored in iCalender export

Emacs 24.5.1, Org-mode 9.1, Windows 7

If I have task like this:
* Spring break
   SCHEDULED: <2018-03-30 Fri>-<2018-04-06 Fri>

I would see "Spring break" listed in the daily agenda for each day between
the starting and ending date in the "SCHEDULED" line. However, the exported
".ics" file only puts one entry for the starting date, which neither
correctly reflects the task nor be consistent with the daily org agenda
view.

Thanks for looking into it.

Not sure whether this helps or not but a period is specified using two
hyphen characters: <...>--<...>

Hi Eric:

The change of "-" to "--" actually fixed the issue!. Thanks.

It would be nice though if the single "-" also works just like in org
agenda, and I don't need to worry about missing one hyphen. But I am happy
now. :-)

Funnily enough, it probably shouldn't work in the agenda.  The
documentation (index range) clearly states that two hyphens are needed.

But glad you got it working!
