10.6: Create iCal event from dates in Safari
Authored by: mr. applescript on Oct 12, '09 09:42:46AM
You can retrieve the dates from text selected in Safari or any other application that supports Services using an Automator action posted on www.macosxautomation.com. There are two text filtering actions here:http://www.macosxautomation.com/services/download/actions.html Get URLs from Text and Get Dates from Text. Retrieved dates will be in UNIX format which can be converted to AppleScript date records fairly easily. -- ENJOY!

10.6: Create iCal event from dates in Safari

Unfortunately, this Automator Service doesn't work if the date doesn't include a year. You will get an error. If you use the "Get Dates from Text" action from www.macosxautomation.com you will at least get an iCal event, but the date will be wrong, and you'll get a year like "0002".
