Hello!

I need a script or tool to delete all events in 2 calendars between June
29th and Aug 01 this year.

Generally speaking, it shoud remove oder at least display teaching
events during school holidays. School holidays are defined in another
calendar.

Does anyone here know a tool or a script that will do that?
I tried with Automator but failed to get the events selected right from
the beginning. :(

Export each calendar to ics format, and open the ics file in something
like TextWrangler (hang the expense!) If the events are sorted in the
file, it should be easy to do the pruning.

That would give you an ics without the events, but it wouldn't remove
the events from your calendar. Unless you empty the calendar and the
reload it

I think that was what Chris meant.

You can do what you want in BusyCal, but it's a bit expensive to buy just to
do that. On the other hand, I'm a huge fan - it's so much better than iCal.

Yeah, sorry. Import the edited calendar back afterwards. That might be
the entertaining bit, will iCal let you completely replace an existing
calendar or try to merge it in a cunning way? (You get your deleted
events back :-)
