Crude, but you could use your email program (Outlook) ?

Heck, use notepad.  Delimit each piece of info with a |
One contact per line.  You can alternately enclose each piece of info with quotes:
firstname|lastname|address|phone
OR
"firstname"|"lastname"|"address"|"phone"

Then you can export that as a delimited file to a mysql database, if you wanted to put it on your site for any reason.

You could go to phpmyadmin though cPanel and make a table with matching fields, and go to file import.  Navigate to your text file.

Import the file, using the field terminator | and line terminator is backslash r backslash n.  (\\r\\n).  If you enclosed in quotes, be sure to fill/check that in.

Seems like a lot of work if it's just a personal thing.  In that case, Outlook/Outlook Express/Windows Address book, all the way Smile

As a sidenote, there is a program that reads delimited text files as databses.  No, not 'Linux' heheh...it's for Windows...

What's this got to do with Dreamweaver? Wink
