While trying to migrate my outlook contacts over to SuSE 10.3, I exported everything as Vcards (.vcf) and then figured I would import them into
for i in *.vcf do tr -d '\105' < $i > out.$i; done
Which worked, but now none of them are valid Vcards. as best I can tell Vcards
Ummm.. valid Vcards lovely idea :-)... the specification is so broad that you can damn near do anything.. What is probably more accurate is that the application does not understand the format of the VCard.... Solution... not nice ... find out what the application expects from a VCard by filling in relevant dummy fields .... export VCard.... write something in you favourite text processing language which translate VCard format A to VCard format B...
Has anyone else run into this? is there an easy fix? is a quick, easy, way fix my 100+ vcards so they import correctly?
This is fairly common with devices or applications which export or import in VCard format... usually hit this when migrating phones e.g. Sony Ericcson to Nokia vice versa or moving info between PIM and Phone.
thanks, -Jesse
