Splitting a multi-contact .vcf file

Hi,

I have a .vcf file which contains may hundreds of contacts records. I want to split this file into multiple files, one for each contact. I can achieve the reverse (multiple files to single file) by using the Terminal command: cat *.vcf > combined.vcf which is fine, I want to do the opposite and end up with multiple files from one single file.

As background I have found that if I drag a single contact .vcf file into Evernote this creates a new Evernote Note with the contact name as the title of the note. What I want to do is to drag a load of .vcf files into Evernote and for Evernote to generate multiple notes, one for each contact.

So, anyone expert enough out there who can tell me how to carve up a single .vcf file into individual .vcf files?

Sadly I suspect that this cannot be done!

Thanks in advance!

Quentin.
