Using script you can augment a form to read and parse a selected text file before sending the parsed results to QuickBase. So as applied to reading a vCard file you can parse out some or all of the fields you need to store in your table using using an AJAX call. Here is a ten minute task of me using a JavaScript library to parse a vcard file and log it parsed as JSON:
Likewise if you need to generate a vCard file from data in your application you can use script to generate a vCard representation as a downloadable file or as a URL.
This demo did not slot the parsed data into an actual table because that is almost trivial to do using the QuickBase API method API_AddRecord.

- If I didn't explicitly state it, you can parse ANY text file before sending results to QuickBase and conversely you can generate ANY text file from data stored in QuickBase (you can generate the file "on-the-fly" so to speak).
