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!

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.

Hi Peter,
Keen to use your convertor, downloaded it but can you give me some brief details on how to use it.

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]])

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!

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
