    ICS files are unstructured text files, so there is no in-built function to turn them into usable data (and back to ICS). But they are text files and do have set data field names (e.g. DTSTART). A very basic way is to upload the ics with cffile and use string search to find the data field names and values you need. You could also have a look at: github.com/dkimbell13/cf_ics_parser Writing an ICS is just like writing a text file, you just have to get the data field names right and and time/timezone values to match expectations.

  • thanks Dom Robinson. But i am confused. actually i have to open the attachment (ics) into google, outlook and yahoo calendar. i have a button in email Add to calendar. by clicking on specific option, icf should open in calendar. How can i give reference of that attached file to calendars. i am little bit confused. i don't want to download the ics.
