An Outlook Contact Clone for the CLI (nox)?

Hi,

I would need in emergency an application like this for the console, because I have too much contacts.

In the abook program one cannnot add some notes to it.

Whatever solution, python, perl, ... I take. I would be so happy that a clone of this image could exist under the console.

Why console? - why not? ;) (reply: I work over ssh and do not need x11 for vim or admin)

What about using the export function and save as a text file?

I havent outlook

I would like a program for linux in whatever language that could clone that

what about http://code.google.com/p/goobook/?

a cool alternative would be to use the google contacs over CLI
googlecl - command-line tool for access to (some) Google services
is it working to get contacts for MUTT?

Code:

pip or easy_install

-------------------



This is the recommended way to install goobook for most users.

When installing this way you will not need to download anything manually.



Run pip or easy_install::



    $ pip install goobook

    $ easy_install -U goobook



easy_install is part of setuptools which should come with most distributions,

pip is a newer replacement.

forget to install this. My admin will never want to install pip or easy_install :(

Isnt there a bash script that does like goobook?

Code:

Contacts

Tasks:



add: Add contacts. add "Jim Raynor, jimmy@noreaster.com" contacts.csv

delete: Delete contacts. delete --title Jerkface

list: List contacts. list name,email --title ".*bob.*" > the_bobs.csv

add-groups: Add contact groups. add-groups "Work" "Friends"

delete-groups: Delete contact groups. delete-groups "Friends"

list-groups: List contact groups. list-groups "my group"

how to query?

How to configure login of googlecl without firefox nor X11?

at home I install googlecl, I am coding a code for replacing abook for mutt under sh

Code:

if [ "--list" = "$1" ] ; then 

        google contacts list name,email,phone,address,notes,nickname,im,organization,notes



        exit

fi

You could try rolo:

I finally made my own portable contact manager. Using vim ;) ;)
