I too have run into a similar problem with the "today" date and ical not finding events. The script works fine if I run it from the Automator but when I save the script as an application and call it directly from Spotlight or from my applications folder, it never finds any ICal events.

I have given up in frustration. My script looks something like this :

On the other hand, further down in the script, I get the due "today" todo list items and it works on both cases, in the automator and saved as an application.


I know this will not solve your problem, but it may stop or reduce the number of "it works for me" replies, because it always "works for me if I run the script inside the automator"

This action seems to work for me, except with recurring events. One other thing I've noticed, however, is that "next week" appears to mean "anytime over the next 7 days", not necessarily "next week". In other words, if I run it on a Monday, then it looks like it gets any events from that Monday through the following Monday.

Sorry for the duplicate entry.

None of the events that are scheduled on that calendar are recurring events. All of them are single, one-hour meetings.


One issue may be recurring events. I don't think these will be detected when finding events by start date, as I think their "official" start date is whenever the recurring event was originally assigned.

1. Find events in iCal (Find events whose calendar is XXX, and whose start date is next week)
2. Event summary
3. New mail message


The first step doesn't yield any result, although if I remove the date, it works, but is useless to me, since it gives me ALL of the events of the calendar.

So, What am I missing here?

Dunno. Works for me...
