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 :

name, nickname, org, tel, url, bday, role, 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, ...}

Example :

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 contacts.csv -s '{"name":1, "tel":2}'

if you want to generate a single vCard file
