Default calendar customEvents not working

[sdetweil]

your search regex is wrong,

^(.+) (\\d{4}) Geburtstag$

its captures EVERYTHING from the start… and there is nothing left for the remainder of the expression

you need to capture any character UP to the 1st space,

^([^\s]+) (\d{4}) Gerburstag$

I use https://regex101.com/ to test (see below)

escape the backslash as required

@sdetweil
Ok. Within the regex101 there is no mistake. But when I change within the config nothing happens again.

[sdetweil]

@pauabaer you needed to escape the \ with another backslash
in the string… its a javascript thing

as I noted in my prior post
also remove the leading /

[pauabaer]

@sdetweil
I did. But…

I got the feeling i am not far away from the solution. Have still patient to bring me to that point? :)

[sdetweil]

@pauabaer do you still see the same error in the dev console?

[pauabaer]

[pauabaer]

It’s not the error I saw before.

[sdetweil]

@pauabaer ok, i am at grandson baseball for a while

@sdetweil
Ok. Let me know when you are back and can help again.
Thanks a lot.

@pauabaer I’m back

my config for customEvents is

                                                {
                                                keyword: "Gerburtstag",
                                                symbol: "birthday-cake",
                                                transform: {           
                                                        search: "^([^\\s]+) (\\d{4}) Gerburtstag$",           
                                                        replace: "$1 ($2)",           
                                                        yearmatchgroup: 2
                                                        }
                                                } 

my test calendar event title (from the summary field in the actual ICS data) is

SUMMARY:test 1986 Gerburtstag

the debug line in the parser is

[2025-05-25 16:08:47.371] [DEBUG] title: test 1986 Gerburtstag 

I see

I walked thru the code and it worked as expected…
