Thanks Chris :-)
You're very welcome. :)
A small Fritz XML sample
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/phone/fritz/samples/
(better seen with a browser eg firefox that indents, harder to view in vi).
It now seems best I export to XML via VCF:
https://en.avm.de/service/support-request/your-support-request/knowlegdebasesupport/detail/en_FRITZ-Box-7390-int/1353_Exporting-smartphone-contacts-to-a-FRITZ-Box-telephone-book/
"Exporting smartphone contacts to a FRITZ!Box telephone book"
"You can use FRITZ!App Fon to export entries saved in the People
app on your smartphone to a FRITZ!Box telephone book."
An android phone app exported Contacts.vcf via mail (method:
http://berklix.com/~jhs/android/#phone_book
) to FreeBSD & `file' reports: vCard visiting card
A stack of vCards, with inter record seperators:
BEGIN:VCARD^M
VERSION:2.1^M
So I will write an exporter from my phone.c multiple field format to VCF,
export into Android phone, then reduce VCF & export the few phone number
fields the Fritz router needs, either by:
- export with FRITZ!App Fon,
- &/or or maybe also find a VCF to XML exporter for BSD.
Sweet! Nice work!
