Hi,
I am wanting to make a small Automator workflow that will allow me to delete only certain events from within a recurring event chain. I use iCal for my school timetable (spread over two separate calendars - separate from all of my other events) and have it recurring every week. I would like this workflow to delete the timetable from the holiday periods but delete only those events that lie within the holidays.
i have created a workflow that does what I want initially, but it interrupts the recurring event and therefore deletes all of my timetable in the two specified calendars after the holiday period that I specify. I use three different steps, shown by the attached images below (in order).
For example, if in step 2, I put in the date "after 2/7" and "before 5/7", I want it to delete all events on the two calendars from step one between 2/7 and 5/7. Instead, this is deleting all events on those two calendars after 2/7 because the recurring event is deleted.
How can I get this to do what I want?
Is there a way to get Automator to use the "Delete only this event" option that appears in a prompt if deleting a recurring event from directly within iCal?
Cheers.
