Count the number of entries per calendar

Wondering if there is any way to know how many entries I have in a specific calendar.
Would like to be able to delete the empty ones.
Thanks!

Try this in Script Editor:

click here to ~~open this script in your editor~~ <pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "iCal"
repeat with ThisCal in calendars
set EventCount to count of events of ThisCal
set ToDoCount to count of todos of ThisCal
display dialog (name of ThisCal & " - Events: " & EventCount & " ToDos: " & ToDoCount)
end repeat
end tell</pre>

Oops...I'm back. It works with the calendar located on top. How do I "adapt" the code to get the information for another one? (I tried writing the name of another calendar in place of ThisCal but that did not work. 😉

It should (does for me) iterate through all your calendars, displaying the information for each.
