There are two ways to do that:
Modify the Address Book
The author of contacts could probably add the feature.
If he used AppleScript to get information from AB (and he probably did), then features could be added to let you edit/add information to AB. However, the syntax for adding and/or modifying entries is more complex than for pulling out data. Also, you have to remember to send the "save database" change after every command.
Re: Modifying Address Book
It seems he is using the actual Address Book framework that Apple made available to developers - not sending AppleScript commands through 'do shell script'. I opened up his code in ProjectBuilder (he released it under GPL), and it loads the Ab framework, and is coded in Objective C.

Could you not use Address Book Importer 1.1.1? It has the ability to move a tab-separated file into the Address Book.
Try this
I submitted this in the Apple forums: Outlook 2000 macro for vCal & vCard export I use this macro to batch export contacts and appointments to vCal and vCard format, which can be dropped right into Address Book and iCal.
Holy Helpful!
Sheesh. Thanks a ton for all the advice. I imagine I'll be able to get this to work for sure now!

I used the utility over at roydesign with absolute success. If anyone else is dealing with the same problem, I highly recommend it.. Took all of 5 minutes to download and use it.

Of course you can export your contacts in vcf from outlook for windows. You can even to them all in one batch to individual files. The import/export engine is quite good. |
