I have a problem and was wondering if automator, apple script or something else might provide a solution.
Problem:
I have a work calendar (exchange) that can be synced to my work computer, but not to any other computer. I also have a google calendar synced to my work computer. This google calendar can be synced to my home mac mini, ipod, ipad, etc. ... but NOT to my exhange work calendar. I would like to fake a sync from exchange calendar to my google calendar though my work macpro. Is this possible?
My imagined solution:
My thought was that since both calendars can sync to my macpro at work (through iCal) that perhaps a solution can be found by routinely exporting my exchange calendar to a file and then importing that file into ical for my google calendar. Then perform the exact reverse process to insure that both calendars contain the same information. Problem is that I don't know how to make iCal do this. In this type of solution it is possible to have identical events imported. If a file contains an event that is already in the calendar is that event duplicated?
Any help, advice would be appreciated. I'd like to use this as an opportunity to learn how to use applescript or automator if this is something that lends itself to using one of those.
TIA
