// This bookmarklet will copy all _visible_ meetings from Google calendar for the current day.
//
// Instructions:
// Navigate to your Google Calendar tab 
// Make sure you are using the "Day", "4 Days", or "Week" view
// Make sure you are on the current week (select "Today")
// Hide calendars that you don't want listed.
// Click the bookmarklet
// 
// Today's events will be copied to your clipboard and also logged in Chrome's console
//
// TODO: Remove events that have been declined
//
// --- 
//
// Meeting details are in the following format:
// 1:30pm to 2pm, Test meeting, Eric Willhoit, Accepted, No location, October 18, 2021
// 2:30pm to 3pm, Another meeting, Eric Willhoit, Accepted, No location, October 18, 2021
// 
// To grab the meeting name, we split the details on "," and grab the second item (index[1])
// Be warned, if you use a comma in your meeting name it will split on that one instead.
//
// You can get around this by adding the start of the Calendar Name to the `splitOn` variable above. 
// In this case, I would change it to ", Eric" to ensure it does not spilt a meeting name containing a comma.
// The downside of this is that it only works for a single calendar. Choose your caveat.
