Yes, indeed.  You are correct.

lbdbq > m_inmail.list.new

cat m_inmail.list > m_inmail.list.new

sort m_inmail.list.new | sort | uniq > m_inmail.list.new2

inspect m_inmail.list.new2

If satisfied, mv m_inmail.list m_inmail.list.old
  mv m_inmail.list.new2 m_inmail.list

When happy with new list, rm m_inmail.list.old

abook to lbdb (OT?)

2015-10-15 Thread Peter P. 
Hi list,

please excuse me if this is slightly offtopic, nevertheless this seems a
propoer community to ask.

Does anyone know if/how I can export an abook data file to a format that
can be merged with lbdb's m_inmail.list file?

Thank you for all ideas!

Thank you, this is what I am already doing successfully. I would just
like to uninstall abook altogether (I am not using it really) and rely
only on lbdb, hence I would like to import/merge abook's datafile into
~/.lbdb/m_inmail.list

lbdb can read abook, /usr/lib64/lbdb/m_abook

I believe if configured that it will automatically include abook addresses
and will provide them when queried.

Shouldn't that be:
cat m_inmail.list >> m_inmail.list.new

otherwise it just overwrites previous output of previous instruction?
