The script now runs and produces my three text files. I still can't get it to work as desired - it seems to omit the lines of the calendar that I most need, i.e. the events themselves! I don't understand enough about the script to be able to fix it but I think the error comes where the script splits the text feeds into separate lines - it only seems to include the first line of the feed and never more. If you fancy taking a look then by all means do but I appreciate you fixing my first problem. For example, the feed for 'today' is as follows in its entirety (in the web browser, before ruby has touched it): CAR: [17/09/2007] Car to Garage at 8.30am But the ruby script returns only: Today: CAR: Any ideas?
