I have only read this thread just this evening, so I see that you've got the parsing problem solved, but I think you can do this directly from Eudora as you initially wanted to do with a LOT less code, if you adapt to something odd that Eudora seems to want.

I've extracted just such lists from nickname files for some of my own scripts, so I think I know where the statement "you can't get a recently added nickname by index" comes from. The odd thing about Eudora is that it appears to number indicies of nicknames like an engineer; viz. starting from zero, not 1.
Bill,
I do understand the numbering scheme that Eudora uses, but that's not the problem. I wrote an AS which automates the updating of our company address books. It works OK nearly 100% of the time, but when it fails it screws up big time, adding 20-30 duplicate names and not deleting others. I have been able to reproduce the error in stress tests and haven't been able to discover the cause of the problem. However it appears to to occur more often when nicknames have been added or modified by the user (not via AS).
