Recover corrupted Address Book data with group info
Authored by: rjbMacOSXHints on Jan 16, '07 12:08:58AM
The first two steps of this worked great for me. I sucked the CSV file into neo office spreadsheet. Cleaned up the data and then wrote it out again as a CSV file. Note that you should use the comma seperation and use the " quote to quote the text (Its an option when saving the file as a CSV from Neo Office. And then you can import it right into Address Book using the File->Import->Text File option.

But step three did not work for me. The 2nd Applescript will not run on my Tiger 10.4 environment. Applescript does not know about the keyword findAndReplace that is used in the 2nd applescript. Do you need to load any other libraries or something? Thanks, Rob

Your friend should probably devote some attention to backups, too.
