from vcf

Parse text as .vcf and create table.

Syntax: from vcf

Examples

Suppose contacts.txt is a text file that is formatted like a .vcf (vCard) file:

> open contacts.txt
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:John Doe
N:Doe;John;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:john.doe99@gmail.com
...

Pass the output of the open command to from vcf to get a correctly formatted table:

> open contacts.txt | from vcf
─────┬─────────────────
 #   │ properties
─────┼─────────────────
   0 │ [table 8 rows]

> open contacts.txt | from vcf | get properties | where $it.name == "FN" | select value
─────┬──────────────────────
 #   │
─────┼──────────────────────
   0 │ John Doe
