Is there a way to make iCal accept comma seperated information? I'm looking to import some sports schedules and this is how they're setup. I know Outlook and Entourage are able to do so, and I was curious if there's a way to do it in iCal as well. I think even a work-around would suffice a this point.

Thanks

Yeah I have a downloaded text file that has date, start time, location etc. all seperated by commas. In Outlook you can import this file and it will fill out your calender for you. Just wondering if there was a way to use this in iCal as well.

Using the yahoo converter when I import the file I get nothing. When using the application, every date after the current day comes in on today's date (i.e. game on jan 2 shows as today.) Any ideas?
