While trying to migrate my outlook contacts over to SuSE 10.3, I exported everything as Vcards (.vcf) and then figured I would import them into KAddressBook. That works fine, except the preview pane shows "\r"s after most lines in sections. I tried stripping out the "\r"s, figuring it was an issue with windows VS Unix text files with a loop:
for i in *.vcf
do
tr -d '\105' < $i > out.$i;
done
Which worked, but now none of them are valid Vcards. as best I can tell Vcards
are required to have the cr/lf at the end of every field? but at the same
time, KAddressBook does not expect them within fields. The part that makes it
funnier is that if I open up a contact some fields have the same problem
(like the notes field), but some don't (like the address preview). Also, the
\r does not show up on the card preview.
Has anyone else run into this? is there an easy fix? is a quick, easy, way fix
my 100+ vcards so they import correctly?
thanks,
-Jesse
