VCF to CSV Converter
New version of the converter is ready for testing. It adds support of a large number of fields and conforms to the VCARD 3.0 standard.
You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/vcf-to-csv-converter/
I will leave this old version here for now, if anyone still needs it.

awesomo!
Dear Peter,
I will need your help and advice. I’ve been using Sonyericsson phones for long years. I always transferred my vcf phone book directly to my new phones. But now I have a Nokia phone and I cant convert all my phone book to csv. The problem is that in my address book one person some times has 3-4 mobile numbers. When I convert this vcf it only converts some of my numbers not all. What do you think I should do? If you can write to me your advice I would be very happy. Thanks a lot.
Hello Hakan,
Google Contacts allows you to merge multiple contacts into one. You could in theory export to CSV, import the CSV into Google Contacts/GMail and merge the multiples that way.
Your other option is to send me a sample of the input file and perhaps I can find a way to merge multiple similar records into one in some way.
Let me know how it all works out for you.
Hi there…can you please help me? I’m not able to convert vCards from Address Book to transfer to a Nokia 8910i phone.. I’ve tried other CSV converters but once I send the file to my phone, it says “not supported by the phone”. Are there different versions of CSV files?
I couldn’t figure out how am I suppose to use the above thing. When I download it, Terminal opens up showing “missing required parameters”
Thank you…
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the details of the import file required by the 8910i. There’s a possibility they require a different delimiter or something. To use my converter you would type in a command like this:
python ./convertContacts.py -i {input file name} -i {output file name}
Can you tell me how you are executing it?
Great; saved my bacon when I had over 100 VCF v-cards my boss wanted dumped into excel!! Notice your surname. Srbin? Pozdrav!

thanks
Hi how to type command python ./convertContacts.py -i {input file name} -i {output file name} ?
the file where i put eg c:\
I couldn’t figure out–it doesn’t do Address/City/State/Zip/Country, or I did something wrong?
tried it with nokia contacts vcf file – no good.
Bill and Alan, if you can send me a file I will try to make it work. Use the contact form please.
Hello,
I’m trying to convert contacts from the Motorola RAZR V6 to the LG KP202. This is what happens :

File does not exist
I guess I need to cook my own script
Oops. Fixed.
You should probably look at the newer version on google docs, anyways: http://code.google.com/p/vcf-to-csv-converter/
I tried to convert about 200 vcf cards from my n900, but I get this error and no output:

Hi,
Will this support a conversion of Palm desktop contacts to Google (for my new Android phone)? I have not found a solution and really hope this is it!
thank you

I’m trying to convert a Skype vcf contacts file to csv. I’m just trying to pull the Skype display names and phone numbers out. I get the same IndexError: list index out of range as SeaGolfer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
As a general note, to process any random field, you should be able to add an “else if” statement to the end of the giant “if…else” statement in __processLine.
elif pre[0] == ‘X-SKYPE-DISPLAYNAME’:
self.__processSingleValue(’ORGANIZATION’, pre, pieces[1])
In this case “X-SKYPE-DISPLAYNAME” is the source field, and “ORGANIZATION” is the destination field.
Some fields that require more logic, such as phone numbers may require a bit more/different logic, such as adding this “else if”
elif pre[0] == ‘X-SKYPE-PSTNNUMBER’:
self.__processTelephone(pre, [pieces[1]])
Hi Peter,
Keen to use your convertor, downloaded it but can you give me some brief details on how to use it.
Make sure you have python installed. Then from the command line, execute something like this:
python ./convertContacts.py -i {vcfFile.vcf} -o {csvFile.csv} -d comma -q
of course replace {vcfFile.vcf} with the path & name of the VCF file and {csvFile.csv} with the path & name of the file you’d like to get.
A glitch in SmarterMail had it importing only ONE record from my GroupWise vcard file, so I needed something to convert the .vcf to .csv.
This seems to have worked perfectly! Had vcard 2.1 file – v3 of your program gave a warning about the version number of the old file, but looks like it converted things fine. The earlier one worked great.
I created a batch file so that I could run from the command line and just feed it the name of the input file, with the same name for the output file (with csv extension of course).
** I renamed the program (convertContacts.py) to just cc2.py **
Here’s the contents of my batch file if anyone is interested – I just put the vcf file into the Python27 folder, and ran my batch from the command prompt in the Python folder in Windows (XP Pro x86):
python ./cc2.py -i %1.vcf -o %1.csv -d comma -q
And then you run it thusly: {batch-file name} {vcf-file name} [Enter]
Other info: used Python 2.7, installed in default folder (c:\python27)
Piece of cake to use.
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Try this Windows version of VCF to CSV Converter from
http://www.softspire.com/vcf-to-csv.html
Can this Script be included in a symbian C++ code? will it work?
Yes! VCF to CSV conversion over MS Outlook is easy. Go here:
File >> Import & Export > Export a File >> Comma Separated Values (CSV) >> Provide Display Name >> Select Contacts Folder >> and proceed further.
Its not enough, you may also try this vCard converter tool for automate conversion process.
