csv2vcf is a small command line tool to convert CSV files to VCard (.vcf) files.
Go to terminal or command prompt and type :
python csv2vcf.py CSV_FILE_NAME [ -s | --single ] INPUT_FILE_FORMAT
Where :
CSV_FILE_NAME
is the full name of the CSV file you want to convertINPUT_FILE_FORMAT
is a JSON formatted string which tells csv2vcf how to parse your input file-s
or--single
: use this argument if you want your output in a single file. Optional parameter. By default, the program will create separate Vcard files for each entry
The JSON string can have the following keys :
name
, given
, surname
, prefix
, nickname
, org
, tel
, url
, bday
, role
, note
and email
, where each property is in accordance with vCard property types
Format is {KEY_1:KEY_1_COLUMN_NO, KEY_2:KEY_2_COLUMN_NO, ...}
Suppose you have a CSV file contacts.csv
with the following content :
+-----------+-------------+
| NAME | MOBILE |
+-----------+-------------+
| Mrid | 1111111111 |
| Arnav | 2222222222 |
| Sunil | 3333333333 |
| . | . |
| . | . |
| . | . |
+-----------+-------------+
To convert this file to vCard, you will have to write :
python csv2vcf.py contacts.csv '{"name":1, "tel":2}'
if you want separate vCards for each person, or
python csv2vcf.py -s contacts.csv '{"name":1, "tel":2}'
if you want to generate a single vCard file.
Another example, if you've downloaded your contacts from LinkedIn, use the following command to import then into your address book:
./csv2vcf.py Connections.csv '{"given":1, "surname":2, "email":3, "org":4, "role":5}'
