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.
