Import from csv is a solution too, I use the below hack functions to import a
csv file...
#+begin_src
(defun eh-org-contacts-parse-csv-line (line)
"Build a org contact from a csv line"
(let ((list (split-string line ",")))
(concat "* " (nth 0 list) "\n"
":PROPERTIES:\n"
":PHONE: " (nth 1 list) "\n"
":EMAIL: " (let ((string (nth 2 list)))
(if (string-match-p "@" string) string
(if (> (length string) 0) (concat string
"@qq.com")))) "\n"
":NOTE: " (mapconcat 'identity (nthcdr 3 list) "; ") "\n"
":END:\n")))
(defun eh-org-contacts-csv-import (&optional filename)
"Convert a csv file to org contacts format and insert current point"
(interactive)
(let ((file (if filename filename (read-file-name "CSV file:")))
(buffer (current-buffer))
(point (point))
contacts-string)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents file)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (< (point) (point-max))
(setq contacts-string (concat contacts-string
(eh-org-contacts-parse-csv-line (buffer-substring (point) (progn (end-of-line)
(point)))) "\n"))
(forward-line 1)
(beginning-of-line 1)))
(switch-to-buffer buffer)
(goto-char point)
(insert contacts-string)))
#+end_src
