Dealing with recurring events? #9

Hi all,
This may not be entirely relevant. But is there a way of importing the ics calendar (say, from a URL) and then manipulate it in R while dealing with recurring events? Currently, I am able to parse my work calendar (hosted under Outlook365 at my institution). But recurring events are only seen once (the first time they are set up) and not as a series.

I understand that the field RRULE specifies that an entry should be repeated, but can this be processed with ical to duplicate the recurring event (say every week, or simply on any occurrence)?
Thanks
Gianluca

@giabaio : I just pushed an update to the package - could you have look (remotes::install_github("petermeissner/ical")) if this works for you?

This will not expand the series entry into multiple lines but provide the rrule fields to do so yourself.

Thank @petermeissner. This is very helpful. I have to say however that being able to manage the rrule is a bit outside of the realm of things I know how to do... ;-)
Would you be able to point me in the right direction (of course, I don't mean "write the function for me, please", but something like "the rrule field needs to be manipulated like...")?
Thanks again!
