Dear List:
I'm a rank scripting newbie & I'm attempting to write my first real
Applescript to fix my address book in Outlook Express.
The problem is that when I imported my Yahoo Mail address book into OE last
year (using a script I downloaded somewhere), the imported contacts had my
Yahoo mail nickname as the first name, a blank last name, and the email
address looked like this:
"Joe Blow"<email@hidden>
with the old first name, last name, and email address all squished together.
I've added many more contacts since then, so my address book is now a
mixture of Stupid addresses (as described above) and proper ones, with first
name, last name, and email addy all in their own fields.
For months now I've been trying to write an Applescript that will go through
the address book, find the Stupid addresses, and correct them. I'm SO close
to finally having this licked. I've tested all the parts of this script and
everything SHOULD work. But when I run it, it just goes through and ERASES
the first name, last name, and email address of each contact!
It's too long to post here, so I put it up on the web:

What am I doing wrong?? Any debugging help would be greatly appreciated.
However, DON'T try to use this on your own OE without first backing up Main
Identity!
(OE 5.02, OS 8.6, FWIW)
Thanks very much in advance,
J
