add address from a list to google contacts

This is quite easy once you know the format to use. You only need a file (use sed if you are starting from a mailing list like me) like:  

Name, Address, Note
,address1@somewhere,
....


To use a mailing list addresses from gmail sender: 

save the list in a file, 
cat file |sed -e 's%\(.*\)<%%' -e 's%>%%' -e 's%^%,%'> outputfile 
add the "Name, Address, Note" and a last comma 

then import from inside contacts in gmail 


hope this helps
