Access the Address Book database from the shell
Authored by: mdzorn on Jun 13, '03 12:12:34PM

There are two ways to do that:
1. The long way: You can use another program, such as Netscape or Mozilla, to import the TAB-delimited file. This creates an LDIF file that can be imported into AddressBook.

2. The Highway: Create an entry in AddressBook. Export that entry onto your desktop as a vCard file. Examine the vCard file in a text editor and write a perl script (Java program, Objective-C, Fortran, ... ) to reformat your TAB-delimited file into a vCard file. Import vCard file into AddressBook.
