Open nokia nbf file

My boss at my office had a problem with nokia NBF file. His Nokia 9500 was lost but before he lost it, he did backup for the memory and the result backup nokia is NBF extension. He asked me to help him and how to use it. I never did before, i did't know about nfb file but i was googling and So these steps what i did.

I use phyton script. you can get it at http://www.dryfish.org/projects/nfb-scripts.zip. After downloading this file, decompress the file. The zip file contains three phython file : createnfb.py, nfb.py and nfbfile.py.

How to use:
enter this command :
#./nfbfile.py -v -v -x name-of-nbf-file.nfb /name-of-folder >result_file

2. Create a file with php and you can give it name whatever you like. The code :
< ?php $filename=$_SERVER['argv'][1]; $handle = fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); fclose($handle); echo str_replace(array(chr(255),chr(254),chr(0)),"",$contents); ?>
Type this command :
#php php-name.php phonebook.pb >phonebook.txt

More easily, you can use nfbdecode to extract nfb file. This is supported with Windows OS. If you want it, please give me your comment in this article .
