Re: Extract data from website and transfer it to Outlook

You could use WWW::Mechanize to scrape data from the site, then use Net::vCard to write vCard files directly. That's probably a lot easier than trying to shove the data into Outlook.

Outlook has ... interesting ... interpretations of how vCard fields map to Outlook fields. You may be better off going with a CSV file, provided you make sure you know how Outlook wants the data. Ivan Heffner Sr. Software Engineer, DAS Lead WhitePages.com, Inc.	[reply]

Now that you mention it... I had a dog of a time trying to export a contact from Outlook to a vCard file, and importing it back in. I never did get it to work, and gave up trying. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]
