ics2csv

A simple Go utility to convert iCalendar (.ics) files to CSV format.

Features

• Parses .ics files and extracts event details
• Outputs events in CSV format for easy import into spreadsheets
• CLI usage for quick conversion

Usage

Help Message

$ ics2csv --help
Usage: ics2csv <input.ics> [--output <output.csv>|stdout]
  -m, --multiline       Preserve newlines and whitespace in fields
  -o, --output string   Output CSV file (default: input name with .csv extension, or 'stdout')

Example

$ ics2csv input.ics

The output will be saved to input.csv by default. You can also specify the output file name or use stdout to print to the console.

By default, all fields are converted to a single line (all whitespace and newlines are replaced by a single space). If you want to preserve newlines and whitespace in fields, use the --multiline (or -m) flag:

$ ics2csv --multiline input.ics

CSV Output Format

The CSV file contains the following columns:

• Subject
• Start Date
• Start Time
• End Date
• End Time
• Description
• Location
