Find duplicate Address Book entries via a script
Authored by: BDBush on Sep 29, '10 10:55:32AM

i tried copying this info into the terminal window and got a lot of "command not found" (see results). the first was 2 lines were

Parsnips-Mac:~ SomeOne$ tell application "Address Book"
-bash: tell: command not found

I have not worked much with the terminal or apple scripts, what am i missing?

I could post the results but it is REALLY LONG

thanks for any help

It's an Applescript so you either need to open the app "Applescript Editor" in the Utilities folder and paste it in the new window or in terminal you need to enter the command to run an applescript. The latter is slightly more involved so just run it in "Applescript Editor".
