This is a great script, and really worked well on my first backup file import. However, in my next attempt, the script choked on some numbers that had a + sign in them. This error:

./calllog2ical.rb:102:in `match': invalid regular expression; there's no previous pattern, to which '+' would define cardinality at 1: /+1850878XXXX$/ (RegexpError)

Can you put in a filter to strip that out of the pattern match? The + is added when you look up a number in Google Maps and click to call from there. They are not necessarily numbers I would want to track, but there is no way to selectively delete items from the call history. Otherwise, great work!

That sounds like a better suggestion to the creator of the Ruby Script since it appears to be an exception thrown by his code. Google code has a nice bug reporting agent.
