A proper export of TB or for that fact most, will have a headers row on line 1.
The first two lines of my TB export are as follows:
First Name,Last Name,Display Name,Nickname,Primary Email,Secondary Email,Screen Name,Work Phone,Home Phone,Fax Number,Pager Number,Mobile
Number,Home Address,Home Address 2,Home City,Home State,Home ZipCode,Home Country,Work Address,Work Address 2,Work City,Work State,Work
ZipCode,Work Country,Job Title,Department,Organization,Web Page 1,Web Page 2,Birth Year,Birth Month,Birth Day,Custom 1,Custom 2,Custom
3,Custom 4,Notes,
,,Amazon - account update,,
account...@amazon.com,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
If you get word wrap, everything from FIRST NAME to NOTES, is the header defining the fields in TB.
The one line with Amazon on it is the address book export. Yes, it has little to no fields filled.
These next lines are from Gmail contacts using a browser:
Name,Given Name,Additional Name,Family Name,Yomi Name,Given Name Yomi,Additional Name Yomi,Family Name Yomi,Name Prefix,Name
Suffix,Initials,Nickname,Short Name,Maiden Name,Birthday,Gender,Location,Billing Information,Directory
Server,Mileage,Occupation,Hobby,Sensitivity,Priority,Subject,Notes,Language,Photo,Group Membership,E-mail 1 - Type,E-mail 1 - Value,E-mail 2
- Type,E-mail 2 - Value,Phone 1 - Type,Phone 1 - Value,Phone 2 - Type,Phone 2 - Value,Phone 3 - Type,Phone 3 - Value,Address 1 -
Type,Address 1 - Formatted,Address 1 - Street,Address 1 - City,Address 1 - PO Box,Address 1 - Region,Address 1 - Postal Code,Address 1 -
Country,Address 1 - Extended Address,Organization 1 - Type,Organization 1 - Name,Organization 1 - Yomi Name,Organization 1 -
Title,Organization 1 - Department,Organization 1 - Symbol,Organization 1 - Location,Organization 1 - Job Description,Relation 1 -
Type,Relation 1 - Value,Event 1 - Type,Event 1 - Value,Event 2 - Type,Event 2 - Value
Comcast Support,,,Comcast Support,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,* myContacts,,,,,Main,
1 800-934-6489,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Again, if it wraps, everything from NAME to Value is the header line.
2nd line is Comcast Support entry with just a phone #.
If you look at the two headers, they are different. The same fields might be there, but not the same name, or order or whatever. I'd have
to pull them into a spreadsheet to see how they line up. But that's the main problem. Unless a program specifically says it's exporting a
csv for use in Gmail, then it's generic. I did not that gmail exported for Outlook. But on TB. Same with TB, just generic.
So to get the TB addresses into gmail, you'd have to pull the csv (and header line) into a spreadsheet, make it look like gmail's export and
change the header names eetc, and then you might get it to import into gmail.
MIGHT!
