I can't generate a single vcard file with multiple contacts using vpim

Hi,

I want to generate a single .vcf file with several contacts, but I can't because vpim generates it like a unique contact .vcf with other users data.

This is my code for generate a single contact vcard and works fine:

def get_card

    contact = User.find(params[:id])     card = Vpim::Vcard::Maker.make2 do |maker|

      maker.add_name do |name|         name.given = contact.user_info.name       end

      maker.add_addr do |addr|         addr.location = 'home'         addr.street = contact.user_info.address_street         addr.locality = contact.user_info.address_city         addr.region = contact.user_info.address_state         addr.postalcode = contact.user_info.address_postalcode       end

      if !contact.user_info.telephone.empty?         maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.telephone) do |tel|           tel.location = 'home'           tel.preferred = true         end       end

      if !contact.user_info.fax.empty?         maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.fax) do |tel|           tel.location = 'home'           tel.capability = 'fax'         end       end

      maker.add_email(contact.email) do |e|         e.location = 'home'       end     end

    send_data card.to_s, :filename => contact.user_info.name + ".vcf"   end

And this is my method for a single vcard file with multiple contacts:

def get_list_cards     ids = params[:ids]     contact_list =     card = Vpim::Vcard::Maker.make2 do |maker|     ids.each do |id|       contact_list.push(User.find(id))     end     contact_list.each do |contact|         #I need to introduce BEGIN:VCARD tag to separate contacts         maker.add_name do |name|           name.given = contact.user_info.name         end

        maker.add_addr do |addr|           addr.location = 'home'           addr.street = contact.user_info.address_street           addr.locality = contact.user_info.address_city           addr.region = contact.user_info.address_state           addr.postalcode = contact.user_info.address_postalcode         end

        if !contact.user_info.telephone.empty?           maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.telephone) do |tel|             tel.location = 'home'             tel.preferred = true           end         end

        if !contact.user_info.fax.empty?           maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.fax) do |tel|             tel.location = 'home'             tel.capability = 'fax'           end         end

        maker.add_email(contact.email) do |e|           e.location = 'home'         end       end       #I need to introduce END:VCARD tag to separate contacts     end     send_data card.to_s, :filename => params[:name]+".vcf"   end

It works but not well, it generates .vcf file but with a single N:; tag. I need to add as N:; tags as user names and i need to split each contact with BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD. I don't know how to do it.
