Creating contacts from csv gives me only header info

[Jörgen Rignell]

Hi, I am using a local csv file and want to create some shared contacts, the command looks like:

gam csv /Users/username/bin/GAMConfig/contacts.csv gam create contact familyname “~familyName” givenname “~givenName” email work “~email” primary organization work “~orgName” department “~orgDept” title “~orgTitle” primary

No errors when running the command in terminal on my macOS Monterey, the csv file is populated with two lines of two contacts I want to create, but the result after being created is that there will be two users created but with the data from the headers.

The users get the name "~givenName" and so on...it does not look like the csv is read at all, what am I doing wrong?

Jorgen,

Look at your command line closely, all of the quotes are curly/smart quotes “~familyName”, not straight quotes "~familyName".

Replace the curly quotes with straight quotes.

Ahh, there you go!

So simple but yet so far away, I had never seen that, thanks for your sharp eyes Ross!

Changed the keyboard setting for smart quotes so it does not give me the curly ones...
