otl2pdb
otl2pdb(1) General Commands Manual otl2pdb(1)
NAME
otl2pdb - converts vimoutliner outline to AddressDB Palm file.
SYNOPSIS
otl2pdb [filename]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the otl2pdb Perl script.
otl2pdb is a perl(1) script that takes an outline from vimoutliner(1) with contact information and creates an AddressDB.pdb file for a
Palm.
For now this script can only create a .pdb file. You then have to use a syncing tool to load it into your Palm. I recommend the pilot-
link package for linux.
The format of the contact outline is the following:
$category
$record_name
c:$cell
a:$address
....
You can have as many categories and records(entries) as you want. The following are valid fields for a record with the necessary text to
indicate them in quotes:
'a:'-address
'c:'-cell
'e:'-email
'h:'-home phone
'n:'-note
'web:'-website
'w:'-work phone
Also, each record's category is left as 'Unfiled' as I can't get the record's category to write correctly.
SEE ALSO
vim(1), perl(1)
REQUIREMENTS
This program uses the Palm::Address perl module, which is available on CPAN.
TIPS
If using the pilot-link package:
-load the pdb with 'pilot-xfer -i AddressDB.pdb'
-specify the serial port if other than /dev/pilot (which will usually be the case
unless you link to it) with -p in the above command; usually this is /dev/ttyS0 in linux
