This struggled with processing the .ics from homeaway.com.

Their format is:

    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID:2739f1fd-dbb7-40f8-bf3c-a23ffcc30ae2
    DTSTAMP:20180625T100336Z
    DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160124
    DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160224
    SUMMARY:Reserved  - Rennovations 3
    END:VEVENT

I've made it work on my local copy, but being able to strip off the ;value=date or to be able to process other value types might be useful if you do an update.

Anyway - thanks for this!

Hi,
Great job on the parser algorithm. There is a small issue in the code with regards to setting dates for DTSTART and DTEND objects. The logic is doing a comparison to the string but the string does not return a match because DTSTART & DTEND are present as a substring with other characters. It could very well be that the ics file i am using is slightly off the standard format. By using indexof instead of a perfect match comparison (==) the code worked like a charm.

OLD -
if(type == 'DTEND')

NEW -
if(type.indexOf('DTEND') != -1 ){

Thanks

Could you specify the License for this code? Because I'm not sure could I use the code in my project. Thx

Hi Carl,

Unfortunately I can't get any output when I am using Apple iCalendar's .ics file. Do you have any time check it? I know that this is an old project, but it would be good to get it to work.

Regards,
Adrian
