Google Calendar script

I tried the conky rss script


#!/bin/bash
# RSS Display Script by Bill Woodford (admin@sdesign.us) v1.0
#
# This script is designed to output story titles for most any RSS Feed.
#
# This script depends on curl. Please ensure it is installed and in your $PATH
# Gentoo: emerge -av net-misc/curl
# Debian: apt-get install curl
# Homepage: http://curl.haxx.se/
#
# Usage:
# .conkyrc: ${execi [time] /path/to/script/conky-rss.sh URI LINES TITLENUM}
# URI = Location of feed, ex. http://www.gentoo.org/rdf/en/glsa-index.rdf
# LINES = How many titles to display (default 5)
# TITLENUM = How many times the title of the feed itself is specified, usually 1 or 2 (default 2)
#
# Usage Example
# ${execi 300 /home/youruser/scripts/conky-rss.sh http://www.foxnews.com/xmlfeed/rss/0,4313,1,00.rss 4 2}

#RSS Setup - Don't change unless you want these values hard-coded!
uri=$1 #URI of RSS Feed
lines=$2 #Number of headlines
titlenum=$3 #Number of extra titles

#Script start
#Require a uri, as a minimum
if [[ "$uri" == "" ]]; then
echo "No URI specified, cannot continue!" >&2
echo "Please read script for more information" >&2
else
#Set defaults if none specified
if [[ $lines == "" ]]; then lines=5 ; fi
if [[ $titlenum == "" ]]; then titlenum=2 ; fi

#The actual work
curl -s --connect-timeout 30 $uri |\
sed -e 's/<\/title>/\n/g' |\
grep '<title>' #|\
# sed -e 's/<title>//' |\
# head -n $(($lines + $titlenum)) |\
# tail -n $(($lines))
fi


But this doesn't work with the Google Calendar feeds. Does anyone know what must to be done to get a working script?

You could try my conky python script for google calendars?

BTW, any reason why you aren't using the built-in rss function in conky? What does the script do better?

Edit: I am guessing it fetches faster than the built-in function when you want multiple feed items...?
