I cannot seem to get things into the correct type or format for as to shove into iCal. Can someone point me in the right direction? Does iCal need the date in text format or what?
It requires the standard date format, which depends to a degree upon the language set in international preferences. With American English it's
date "month, day, year", with the commas being optional. The month can be spelled out in full, have a three-character abbreviation, or be an integer from 1 to 12. Alternatively, it can be in the form date "mm/dd/yyyy" The year can be two or four digits, but if using two digits, if they're 50-99, it defaults to the 1900s; if 00 through 49, it defaults to the 2000s. Also, the month and day can be expressed with one digit, if appropriate.
