Remove Fields From Record?


  • Subject: Remove Fields From Record?

I would like to try to find and delete duplicate records in Address Book. Using basic information like name or address won't do it as the duplicates have been long resident and some have been updated.

The ideal way to handle this would be to copy the fairly large address book person record but remove fields which contain record-unique info (like ID and vcard).

Is there a way to remove fields from an Applescript record? If a have a record, myrec, that looks like:

{keepthis: "save me", keepthistoo: "keep me", trashthis: "bye-bye"}

can I turn it into

{keepthis: "save me", keepthistoo: "keep me"}

by removing the trashthis field instead of specifying each of the fields to keep?

Thanks!

Gary
