ical2org.awk

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

thanks providing ical2org.awk.

When running on Debian8 however, encountered a bunch of errors:

awk: ./ical2org.awk: line 394: function strftime never defined
awk: ./ical2org.awk: line 394: function gensub never defined
awk: ./ical2org.awk: line 394: function gensub never defined
awk: ./ical2org.awk: line 394: function mktime never defined
awk: ./ical2org.awk: line 394: function gensub never defined

Turns out had to install gawk.

After changing the shebang accordingly it worked.

Just FYI,

thanks again,

Andreas,

Yes, I guess ical2org does expect gawk.  I should have made that
clear.  On my Debian installation (currently a bullseye/sid
combination), /usr/bin/awk points to gawk (via /etc/alternatives/awk) so
I never thought about it. <blush>

I allowed myself to use #!/usr/bin/env gawk -f here:

https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/worg/commit/2d5d92ca61

I see there is
https://github.com/msherry/ical2org/blob/master/ical2org.awk

so perhaps hosting the code on worg/code/ is not so useful
anymore?  If you see useful places in Worg where pointers
could be updated, please go ahead.

Thanks,

Interesting.  I hadn't been aware of that fork.

I don't really have a strong opinion about this.  Happy for it to remain
(it does work) but also happy to have it removed and a link to that fork
put in.  My own version has diverged from the one I put on Worg ever so
long ago now in any case.

I've been thinking about this from time to time.  I think everything
in worg/code/ should move on other places---i.e. where people expect
code to be hosted and found.

So please feel free to move ahead with moving ical2org.awk.

Thanks,

On a tangent, I found there was existing code in Gnus to import
ical. Do we need another library or file to manage if the
functionality is already in emacs?

As the original author of ical2org.awk, I should say that I do use the
functionality within gnus for importing calendar invites that I receive,
esp. from colleagues, into org.  I use the awk script to batch import
calendar entries from e.g. Google or Office365 calendars.  I'm not sure
if the code you pointed to has the functionality to batch import
although I guess it would be quite trivial to write some code around it.

I'm happy for ical2org.awk to be removed from Worg although I will
obviously continue using my own version as it's part of my somewhat
complex workflow that's evolved over the past decade.

I'm not entirely sure what is meant to be done and by whom!  If you wish
to replace the link on Worg to the github site you found, by all means
do so.  My own version of ical2org.awk is not hosted on any public site
that I could share.

thank you,
eric

It was hard to find that, so maybe we should both document it
better. ;]

I hadn't used it that way. Interesting.

I'm not sure where it is located. If its a useful contribution perhaps
Worg is where it should be?

yes, this is what I mean and what I've partially just done in Worg
(see commit 08276954).  I'm not removing the code yet, as it may have
been referenced on the web, but at least we point to a more recent
version of it.

Thanks,
