I’m working on a very simple script where I check an email account for any message with a certain subject line, then create an iCal event based on the contents.
To make life easy, I’m pulling the start date as the first paragraph of the message. eg “5/28/2005 5:00 pm”, then converting it to a date so submit to iCal.
But it doesn’t work. I keep getting the error:
Mail got an error: Can’t make date “5/28/2005 5:00 pm” into type reference.
Even calling it under current application doesn’t work.
here’s a snippet of the code. The first line of the message is exactly the sample above:
set curcontent to content of curmessage
set tempeventstart to first paragraph of curcontent
set eventstart to date tempeventstart
Any ideas?
