Perl and QSF.
=============
If you need to convert pilot-qof data into other formats, take a look
at the example perl scripts installed with pilot-qof. You are welcome to
contribute new or amended scripts - just post them on the QOF-devel
mailing list.
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qof-devel
See the Pilot-QOF Extensions Manual for more information.
Modules
=======
Text::vCard::Addressbook - parse, edit and create multiple vCards
(Available in Debian/Ubuntu as libtext-vcard-perl).
XML::QOFQSF - parse QSF XML files created by the QOF XML backend
(Available in Debian/Ubuntu as libxml-qofqsf-perl).
Redirection, scripts and backups
================================
Although it is fine to do this:
$ pilot-qof -x business.xml --invoice-city -t 2006-03-01 | dfxml-invoice -
Just remember that it might not be so wise to do this:
$ pilot-qof -a --invoice-city -t 2006-03-01 | dfxml-invoice -
Why? Because using -a means that your Palm data is not being backed
up in this process. Now, of course, you can sync your Palm twice but
reading from the backup file is a lot faster. In general, the best advice
is:
"If the Palm data has changed, use -a to backup to file.
If the Palm data has not changed, use -x to read the backup file."
