I have a group within my contacts list that I would like to send to all
members of the group so they can contact each other.
Exporting this to Excel would be best, but I can't figure out how, nor does
the Help function give much guidance.
Is this possible?
Many thanks, Colin
Yes, with this script:
-- Copy Group Entries to Clipboard v1.0
-- Barry Wainwright 22/04/2004
-- An applescript of Microsoft Entourage
-- This script will put all the entries of a selected group
-- on the clipboard as Tab-Delimited Text
-- Just select a group in the address book listing and run the script.
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
set theGroup to item 1 of (get selection)
on error
display dialog "Please select a group in the address book and run
the script again" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
return -99
end try
if class of theGroup is group then
set exportList to {"Group: " & name of theGroup}
set groupEntries to content of every group entry of theGroup
repeat with anEntry in groupEntries
copy {display name of anEntry & tab & address of anEntry} to end
of exportList
end repeat
set {oldDelims, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to
{AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set the clipboard to exportList as text
set applescript¹s text item delimiters to oldDelims
else
display dialog "Please select a group in the address book and run
the script again" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
end if
end tell
Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ŒEntourage Script Menu
Items¹ folder in your ŒMicrosoft User Data¹ folder. The script can be
manually run from the menu.
