It can be very difficult to learn a language on your own. I was/am hoping that someone here can help me learn how to write obj-c code. I have read the Address Book documentation the comes with Xcode and I just can't figure how to put all the pieces to together. I know what I want to do can be done, Mail.app does it all the time. If I wasn't clear in the wording of my question, please let me know.

Thanks,

My name is Brad Bumgarner and I am new to Objective-C. I have been using AppleScript since it was first introduced many (many) "moons" ago. I have been using Project Builder / Xcode since OS X 10.2. I have recently decided to step up to using Objective-C so that I may add features to my apps that I can't do (the way I'd like to) in AppleScript Studio. The scary thing is Objective-C is actually starting to make sense :-)

My question: How can I search for a name in Address Book? I want to be able to search for first names, last names and both first/last names. I want to be able to do this much like Mail.app does. The code below (attached to a text field via AppleScript's "on changed" handler) works until a space character is entered. "theName" is passed from the applescript code and contains the currently entered text from the text field as it is being entered.
