My calendar/diary import process broke!
In debugging the problem, I realised I don't need to go from MS Exchange –> ICAL –> diary –> org-mode.
Instead, I can go straight from ICAL to orgmode.
My script now looks like this (and uses the python script ical2orgpy) which can be installed using pip.
#!/bin/bash
# customize these
WGET=/usr/bin/wget
ICAL2ORG=/usr/local/bin/ical2orgpy
ICSFILE=/mnt/c/Users/psmith/Dropbox/psmith/Temp/calendar.ics
ORGFILE=/mnt/c/Users/psmith/Dropbox/psmith/Org/exchange.org
URL=https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/111222333/112231321/calendar.ics
$WGET -O $ICSFILE $URL
echo Creat an empty diary file
echo Remove $ORGFILE
rm -fr $ORGFILE
#
# Fix/set the timezone from (no TZ description) to Pacific/Auckland
#
echo Fixing timezone
echo sed -i.bak 's/(no TZ description)/Pacific\/Auckland/' $ICSFILE
sed -i.bak 's/(no TZ description)/Pacific\/Auckland/' $ICSFILE
echo Doing import
echo $ICAL2ORG $ICSFILE $ORGFILE
echo ";; -*- eval: (auto-revert-mode 1); -*-" >> $ORGFILE
$ICAL2ORG $ICSFILE - >> $ORGFILEJob done :)
