This kinda works.
My problem is that I'm not exporting them from Evolution, to then import them into another instance of Evolution. Instead, I've got the data in a raw format, and I'm trying to use my perl-foo to put the data into a "mass export style" .vcf card.
I've got the data so that it looks right to the naked eye, but I know I must be missing some kind of delimeter, as evolution only takes in the first couple of records (successfully), then silently declines the rest of the data.
If I remove those first couple of records from the file, then it doesn't accept any more.
I believe what I need at this point is a nice tidy detailed description of what Evolution is expecting (format and delimiter wise) from a .vcf file. I'm going through the vcard-21 spec, but I'm not convinced that evolution's expectations are the same as the vcard-21 spec.
Can anyone point me at an evolution .vcf card import spec document?
Cheers, -Brian
Thus spake Aaron Weber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Go to the contacts folder, hit Ctrl-A, then save as a vcard-- it makes one giant vcard. :)
Last time I tried this, I found that, for some reason, it's easier to import when you mail it to yourself as an attachment than when you just save it and import it, but that may be a bug that was fixed quite some time ago.
Cheers,

I've tried this using .vcf files, but I only seem to be able to import one at a time.
Can I do a mass import with Evolution? How?
