New functionality for ics2rem #7

Closed Xitian9 closed 6 years ago

Xitian9 commented 7 years ago

Add various functionality to ics2rem, including

Add a tail (with optional separator) to every MSG, which is intended to transform %"<summary>%" <description> to %<summary>%" <tail><sep><description>. This allows one to insert things like ‘%b’ after the summary.
Add a ‘postdate’ string, which follows the date trigger in every Remind entry. This is useful for adding deltas like ‘+2’.
Add a ‘posttime’ string, which follows the time in every timed Remind entry. This is useful for adding deltas and repeats, like ‘+60 *15’.

I was thinking, maybe instead of adding separate options to add a tails (and separators), a better solution is to introduce a format string governing how to produce the MSG from the various inputs. Eg. %(summary) at %(location) %%"%(summary)%%" %(description) %%"%(summary)%%" %%b

Looks good for me. I'm not sure it's worth it to use a format string, or do you have more use cases in mind?

Hi @Xitian9, sorry for dropping out of this for so long. I've rebased your patches and pushed them together with some new stuff to master. If you find don't find any problems with it, I will tag a new version in the next days.

If you still want to work on the alarm time, that would be great, closing this one for now.
