csv2vcf

csv2vcf is a small command line tool to convert CSV files to VCard (.vcf) files.

Usage

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 convert
INPUT_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

JSON Format

The JSON string can have the following keys (vCard property types) :

key titles
first_name
last_name
full_name
nickname
tel
email
org
url
bday
role

Format is {KEY_1:KEY_1_TITLE, KEY_2:KEY_2_TITLE, ...}

Example

Suppose you have a CSV file contacts.csv with the following content :

+-----------+--------------+
|    NAME   | MOBILE PHONE |
+-----------+--------------+
|   Mrid    |  1111111111  |
|   Arnav   |  2222222222  |
|   Sunil   |  3333333333  |
|     .     |      .       |
|     .     |      .       |
|     .     |      .       |
+-----------+--------------+

To convert this file to vCard, you will have to write:

python csv2vcf.py contacts.csv '{"full_name": "NAME", "tel": "MOBILE PHONE"}'

if you want separate vCards for each person, or

python csv2vcf.py contacts.csv -s '{"full_name": "NAME", "tel": "MOBILE PHONE"}'

if you want to generate a single vCard file
