Split first and last names in Address Book via AppleScript
Authored by: aelath on Nov 02, '11 12:30:39PM

Just wanted to respond about this little script. I fiddled with it a little bit to get it to work for me. It was really just two edits to make my life easier.
1) I changed "2nd word" under the try to "last word", because I had entries with multiple words but no last names with multiple words.
2) In order to work correctly you need to save the changes. I put a "save" in the script near the end, right before "end tell".
That did the trick for me! I didn't have 2000 contacts to change, only 200, so I guess that makes me lazy.
