Converting ePADD output to a CSV

Run the following command, specifying your desired input and output files:

python epadd_utils/parse-email-list.py /path/to/text/file.txt /destination/output.csv

Converting a CSV to ePADD output

NOTE: This script requires a UTF-8 encoded CSV.

Run the following command, specifying your desired input and output files:

python epadd_utils/parse-csv.py /path/to/csv.csv /destination/output.txt

You can optionally specify a delimiter for subsections in the CSV, if needed (| is default):

# use a semicolon as a delimiter
python epadd_utils/parse-csv.py --delimiter ";" /path/to/csv.csv /destination/output.txt
