Subject: [Rd] interfacing R with RFC2445
Message-ID: <0AD378BB-D4D2-4461-8159-33D107BEED0F@gmail.com>

R Developers, 

I cannot seem to find an R package that can read/write iCalendar (RFC2445) files. 

I have found the libical library at sourceforge. I've used it briefly so it may be what I need, but again no R interface. I may have to connect the dots myself. 

I'm guessing this might be useful for someone other than myself (scrubbing files, performing temporal analysis on events, etc). 

Since I need to perform these tasks, I will probably do it using R if I can get away with it. 

Can anyone provide some basic advice for me? A list object of entries? The original data will be coming from an SQL table/view result.

Is there any interest in helping with funding such a small project?

Thanks,
Jeff.
