Importing many ICS files into one google calendar

Question

I have many ICS files which I want to import into my google calendar. Importing them one at a time, just isn't practical. Are there any alternatives?

Answer 1

You can just concatenate them into one big file.

In windows, copy all of your *.ics in on folder, then fire up cmd.exe and do:

copy mycal.ics + anothercal.ics + extracal.ics all.ics

If you are a linux user you can use:

cat mycal.ics onothercal.ics extracal.ics > all.ics

Then import all.ics into google calendar.

Answer 2

Under DOS/Windows CMD, instead of typing out all the filenames, you can also just use

copy *.ics all.ics

with the same result.

Which means you can also just toss that one line into something like combine_ics.bat and run that every time you need to do such a thing.
