Great, and you're welcome.
The most important thing would be to identify what ulimately become 1Password Login, Credit Card, and perhaps Identity. These are the categories that can form fill. Bank Account woud be a nice to have. Ultimately the other's are basically a templated form of a Secure Note, and of course you could migrate those over time.
You can use --verbose and --debug to show how patterns are being used to match and trigger category detection. There are other options that can help make the process quicker (--imptypes and --exptypes).
The field label patterns can be complex - most of them are regular expressions, some are simple strings. REs of course allow detection of varaitions in labels.
Here's a row of data that feels like a Login, but it didn't get detected as such because the labels were non-stock:
Adding those labels as part of the pattern could cause a Login match.
Here's another row that got detected as a Credit Card, and part of the record was also split into a Login record:
The final Import and Export summary will reveal stats about the process:
$ perl convert.pl -v passwordsplus testfiles/passwordsplus/passwordsplus_mac.csv
Import summary:
36 items discovered
16 items ignored (category templates)
4 items were added by splitting 3 original items
Export summary:
1 Bank Account item
1 Credit Card item
1 Driver License item
1 Email Account item
1 Medical Record item
1 Passport item
1 Social Security Number item
3 Login items
4 Membership items
10 Secure Note items
24 total items
You may now import the file below into 1Password 8:
