Ok, I saved this scrip to the address book scripting folder, and it shows up in the script menu, but doesn't appear to do anything to the contact.

I even tried on a contact I named steiner.

How do I adjust this script to refer to the current contact?

When I run it in script editor, it says the variable "if" is not defined.

tell application "Address Book"
set foo to people whose name contains "steiner"
set now to short date string of (current date) & ", " & time string of (current date)
repeat with bar in foo
set goo to note of bar
if goo is not "" then set now to (now & lf & lf)
set note of bar to (now & goo)
end repeat
end tell

Does anyone have a script that adds a date-time stamp to a contact into the notes section?


I didn't, but now I do:

tell application "Address Book"
    set to people whose name contains ""
    set to short date string of (current date) & ", " & time string of (current date)
    repeat with in
        set note of to
    end repeat
end tell



And just in case you don't want to erase an existing note, begin by

    set lf to (ASCII character 10 as Unicode text)

Then, in the repeat loop

   repeat with in

set to note of bar
if  is not ""  then set now to (now & lf & lf)
set note of to (now &

   end repeat
