What is the best approach to capture first & last name, email, city,
state, comments into variables that can then be pasted into a new card
in address book?
A slight modification to speed up the script quite a bit, depending
on whether there is anything in he message following the comments:
tell application "Mail"
set theMsg to the selection
set the_content to content of item 1 of theMsg
(* If there is a way to use a whose construct with the contents,
I can't figure it out*)
set flag to false
repeat with this_item in paragraphs of the_content
if this_item contains "Name - " then
set name_item to contents of this_item
else if this_item contains "Email - " then
set email_item to contents of this_item
else if this_item contains "Email repeat - " then
set email_confirm to contents of this_item
else if this_item contains "City - " then
set city to contents of this_item
else if this_item contains "State - " then
set state to contents of this_item
else if this_item contains "Comments" then
--set comments to contents of this_item
(* The comments line doesn't work because the comments
themselves are on the next line, but I think this will get you
started. All you need is to extract the exact data from each
variable, and figure out how to get the comments. *)
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
