Apple

Thanks but I don’t understand your text after the script. I see the script “save”. Are you explaining that to me or saying that I have to manually save every card? The whole Contacts?

I’m looking for help in bulk modifying my Contacts address book. I have many coworkers that show the company name. Our company is being bought by another and several of the contacts fields will change. Let’s start with the Company name field. Any way to change it from “Foo Inc” to “Bar International”? There are 40-50 records to change.

You could do it with an AppleScript:

tell application "Contacts"
set the_people to every person whose organization contains "xyz"
repeat with a_person in the_people
set the organization of a_person to "123"
end repeat
save
end tell

You have to save. If you don't, it won't work.
