Ever need to pull a group of iCal events and process that data in someway? Well as always, Automator makes it super easy. This can be done with only three actions. Only two of the actions have data that you have to fill in. “Find Calendars in iCal” requires you to choose what to find, in this case it is “Events”, and Whose in which in this case it is “Birthdays/Special Personal Events”. Then you must choose where to save and what to name the file. I choose “Birthdays.txt.” Beyond that, just push the play button and when it is done, all your data will be in the Birthdays.txt file. I needed this so that I could look over the data with my wife and make sure that all dates were correct. I had found one that was wrong last month and thought I would throw on the Data Steward hat for a bit.
Enjoy,
