vcardsearch

lbdb is all kinds of broken for vCard parsing and Contacts.app (macOS) access. This can be used with the mutt query command to do roughly the same function.

requires

  • perl
  • Text::vCard::Addressbook
  • utf-8
  • a vCard file

usage

   Search a vCard format file and return data formatted for mutt

   usage: vcardsearch.pl [-h] [-c] [-f vcf file] [-s search term]
     -h        : this help message
     -c        : check for CJK names and return LASTFIRST
     -f        : the vCard file to parse
     -s        : the search term (UTF-8 compliant)

   example: 
   vcardsearch.pl -f /home/ca/.mutt/vcards.vcf -s guenther
   vcardsearch:    1 match(es)

Configure mutt

set query_command="vcardsearch.pl -f $HOME/.mutt/vCards.vcf -c -s '%s'"

Export vCards

You can use the provided exportvcards.scpt to quickly export all Contacts to Documents/vCards.vcf. Thanks to SPiFF for the fixes.

Usage:

osascript exportvcards.scpt
