Thanks.

Is there a way to pipe a remote calendar through a script?
I have written a script that put the correct TZID tags in place but I can't 
pipe the remote calendar through it.

if there is any other solution that can be implemented in my side that would 
be great, since the ics files comes from a web site I don;t think the format 
will change anytime soon.

Best regards,
YB.
