ok i'm working on a prog that lets the user manipulate AB data for
export here is my question what is the best way to format the data for
export ie the user says i want to export all email addresses last name
and city should i create a master dictionary and cycle through the AB
data extracting what i need then format it for output or is there a
better way?
id master dict
contains fields to export
first name last name city
then it has a bunch of sub dicts which have object with the key of
"last name" or "first name"
then i just cycle through and if a sub dict has the key i'm on i input
the data if not i go to next
does this seem the most logical way of doing it? say if i wanted to
export the data as tab-delimited data.
