Unable to import exported ics file

ℹ️ Support
1

I am unable to import a .ics file I just exported from Nextcloud. I am running version 31.0.6. I get these errors: “no valid files found” and “personal.ics could not be parsed”.

Import into what?

‘Could not be parsed’ could mean that one programme exports to a format that the other cannot read.

Can you re-import your export back into the same programme?

3

Nextcloud calendar.
That’s what I tried.

Please export a test and send it here.

Ok, test your file here:

And if you get the error:

Lines not delimited by CRLF sequence near line # 1
Reference: RFC 5545 3.1. Content Lines

try to run in a terminal:

sed  's/$/\r/' your_old.ics >into_your_new.ics

And test:

into_your_new.ics
