Perhaps I oversimplified the situation a little.
The main point was that I'm able to convert the files to whatever
(within reason :-) format the import or merge procedure or utility
needs.
Now, the details: There are actually two adress lists (for two separate
bands :-). One is a TeX input file and the other is an Excel file that
I export as a tab-separated text file.
The lines in the TeX file looks like
\musiker{Firstname Lastname}{Street address, city}{email address}{cell phone
number}{home phone number}
and the lines of the exported Excel file looks like
Name Address Instrument home number work number cell phone birth
date email address
With a little awk and perl, transforming these to for instance bbdb
format is not too difficult.
