Help extracting address book data

Hi

Does anyone out there know how I can extract data (address book)
meaningfully from entourage. I would like to be able to extract
certain categories, sorted. The only export options are to a tabbed
file (where you can only export everything) or export an .rge file
which I can't look at.

thanks

You can export to a text file.
I don;t remember if the categories are listed in the resulting file, but
you can always use an AppleScript to write the category names to the
Notes field and use that in your exported list.

Export as an .rge file. THEN create a new Identity in Entourage and import
the .rge file. NOW you can export it as a tab delimited file.

Don't complain. It works. :)
