Creating a vCal-interpreter

[daGnutt]

I'm currently trying to write a vCal-interpreter, so that I can use a
google-calendar to show upcoming, and recently performed events.

The issue that I have now, is that I wish to split up the vCal-info
into blocks with data.
What I'm after right now is a way to fetch the row-nums from a string
where the rows are

First Occurence of
BEGIN:VEVENT
and then the first occurence of
END:VEVENT

(So I can divide it into blocks)

It never fails!
Just after posting the message I found a way to do this!

Re: Creating a vCal-interpreter

New problem (I'm sure this one is really easy)
In a string i have many rows, I want to extract some data from one of
those rows

Example:

>From the row "DTSTART;TZID=E urope/Stockholm:20070 603T190000"

I wish to extract the value "20070603T19000 0" into an variable

Example 2

>From the row "DTSTART;VALUE= DATE:20070616"

I wish to extract the value "20070616"

These two examples are the only two variants of which I wish to
extract the information (at this point)

Can anyone give me a quick fix?

And?
Did you find the answer already? ;-)

Else try "explode".

Re: Creating a vCal-interpreter

I have tought about that, however the row that I want to extract this
data from is among alot of other rows. Therefore I'm thinking in the
rows of this

Perhaps writing up a reg-exp searchstuff (my head is tired right now)
that searches for a row ex

(not sure that my regexp are right for five cents, so I'm mixing
regexp with pseudo-code)
^DTSTART;[possibly "TZID=Europ e/Stockholm" OR "TZVALUE=DA TE"][data-to-
be-extracted]$

can anyone help me?

Re: Creating a vCal-interpreter

Why not "explode" at the ":" ?
The date part will be the first chars in the second item of the array.
Or is that too simple?

If ($suggestion==" too_simple") then {
give("more_deta ils");
}

R.

Re: Creating a vCal-interpreter

I would then need to explode it at "\n" so that I would change the
rows as well... And afaik (haven't tried yet) I don't think that
explode would like regexps for delimiter.

But I would be out sailing on the black sea here...
