RRule throws error if key is not recognized about rrule

[jkbrzt]

@fatshotty I think it's generally good to have it fail loudly when there is an unknown key. But maybe we could add a sort of "strict" flag to the API, e.g.:

RRule.parseString(rfcString, noStrict=false)
RRule.fromString(rfcString, noStrict=false)

What is your use case?

Hello,
thanks for reply.

I have an iCal format file that includes also other keywords suck as description. Now I should remove this keywords in order to avoid RRule throws errors.
I think your suggestion is good. Maybe the unrecognized keywords could be put into a accessible hash data, something like:

rule = RRule.fromString( MY_STRING );
description = rule.special.description;

Thanks again

Fabio

Are the extra fields included in the RRULE field? It sounds a bit odd, could you post an example? The special field is a good idea.

Just a misunderstood by me. It's working good.
This issue is not a problem
Sorry ;)
