Decoding a vCard...

[Bill Vlahos]

I have a working vCARD import and export but it isn't in a form I can  
easily post at the moment. It isn't too difficult to do but it is  
tedious. I have it working with the Address Books on both Mac and  
Windows but I have not tried it with any other program that does  
vCARDs yet. Note that Apple uses v3 of the vCARD format while  
Microsoft uses version 2 for XP and earlier (I have not looked at  
Vista's version). Even though Windows uses version 2 it appears to be  
able to import version 3 so that is what I export.

Since vCARDs are just text files it is pretty simple to see how they  
are constructed.

I hope to release a sample stack after I release this new product I'm  
working on but that probably won't happen for a few months.

Andre's stack is pretty elegant and it contains a great reference to  
what the vCARD and vCAL standard formats are.
