Gpe Address Book Information

[omro]

Hi there

I have all my address info in a spreadsheet. I'd like to import it into the GPE Address book. I'd also like to be able to export any changes out again.

Is that possible?

Write a plugin for opensync. (I don't think a simpler solution exists.) opensync to spreadsheet/csv would be cool.

You want sync on both sides (gpe <=> pc), aren't you?

One option would be convert the spreadsheet to cvs, and then, create a SQL sentence witch intesert it on the addressbook. Is a easy (more or less) task with Python on Zaurus side. Sync with PC after would use the opposite steps.

So....

How do you transfer the data from GPE Address book when you update GPE to another version of the GPE Address book?

Surely there has to be a way to export the data safely out and then back in again?

libcontactsdb takes care of that automagically

I'm sure it does, but I have no idea how it does. Any more information you can provide?

is there a way to turn the data into a CSV or XLS?

I just had a word with Florian on #GPE and he gave me the following info:

One can import/export using vcards from either the command line or using gpesyncd.
http://gpe.handhelds.org/projects/gpesyncd.shtml and try running contacts from the command line with a -help switch and see what it says.

To access the database itself one can use libcontactsdb (documentation not finished yet):
http://www.kernelconcepts.de/~fuchs/gpe/do...tsdb/index.html

And for raw access here's some info about the database layout:
http://handhelds.org:8080/gpe/wiki?p=GpeDatabaseScheme

As and when you do work out the easiest way, would you mind adding some info to either the wiki.openzaurus.org FAQ or a HowTo (depending on how much you want to write),

Thanks,
