Title: Adress book format!
Post by: Pyrates on September 27, 2004, 03:22:10 am

Hi there!

I have a large adressbook in a database, and I like to import it into the opie adressbook (from 1.1.6). So, where could I find a description of this 'vCard' format? I could try to make some dummy entries, export it, and then look at it, but I'd rather have a good description... Thanks for any pointers!

Cheers
Philipp

Google.

vCard is a standard format.

Hmm, contrary to my other post, I thought about googling this one. But I don't really feel confident for reading rfc's or so, and all that stuff seems really complicated to me. I think I want to start learning xml or so, just out of interest, but for now that's to much, I need my addressbook. So I'm back to "export, figure out and try", and it seems to work so far.

Anyway, while I'm at it, let me go OT and ask, anybody got a link for a GOOD introduction to xml (or is xml just a subset of something else I should look at? I don't mind if the stuff gets theoretical)? Or maybe an EASY explanation of vCard?
