[Remind-Fans] Export one reminder date to iCal, so it can be attached to an email, for example

[Matthias Beyer]

Hi remind community,

while I received several answers to my question (thank you all), I
managed to hack my own script.

It uses

    * remind (of course)
    * awk
    * rem2ics
    * fzf (for actual selection of the entry, others possible)
    * unix std tools (cut, head, tail)

You can find my script here[0].

Feel free to submit changes, add suggestions or general thoughts on
it.
