Simple tool to merge VCF contacts.

Merging VCF Contacts

Simple tool to merge VCF contact files into one single contact file. Useful when your mail providers function to export contacts generates a single file for each contact. Instead of importing them one by one you can use this tool to merge all files into one file. After that you can import a single file containing all your contacts into another account.

Prerequisites

Unfortunatly you have to use Powershell 7.0 or later. Powershell 5.1 does not properly support charset utf-8 without bom.

Usage

1. Download latest Get-MergedVcf.ps1 from release page
2. Run .\Get-MergedVcf.ps1 -SourcePath .\path\to\vcf-files -DestinationPath all.vcf
3. Use single file to import contacts else where

Advanced Usage

Parameter	Usage	Example
-SourcePath	Path to folder containing *.vcf files	See section Usage
-DestinationPath	Full path to destination file (where merged contacts will be saved)	See section Usage
-Exclude	File names of files that should be excluded from merging (files need to be located in -SourcePath folder, full file paths are not supported)	.\Get-MergedVcf.ps1 -SourcePath . -DestinationPath all.vcf -Exclude "work.vcf", "school.vcf"

Current State

The tool currently only supports VCF files with utf-8 encoding. It has not been tested with other encodings or other Powershell versions than 7.0.
