Asked by wmichaelb

Hello! I would like to perform a document merge and export my contacts list in Evolution to glabel to print mailing labels. glabel will accetp a csv file from Gnumeric; but I can find no way to do that from Evolution. Is there a way to export the contacts list from Evolution in csv format?
Thanks!

Hi!

I want to do the same, but here is the result when I typed what's above in the console:

 evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv >contact_list.cvs

(evolution-addressbook-export:31585): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strv_length: assertion `str_array != NULL' failed

Hi,

That's a bug in evolution-addressbook-export or maybe in GLib.
I can't help you with that. Try updating evolution.

Ok, thanks anyways.

I ended up saving the address book as vcard ans using this converter utility http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/ to convert it from vcard to csv for GMAIL.

Can you help with this problem?
