Eudora de-dupe


 

Daly,
The BBEdit method would be fine for my personal address book, but I maintain a mailing list of 5,000 plus names and addresses (not to mention "groups" of names assigned to one nickname). Using a script to search out duplicates would be very helpful to me. Ideally, Eudora would add this function to their software-I've already submitted it to their "wish-list".
Thanks,
Stacey



>If you use Entourage and have
been wishing for some little enhancement, odds are someone has already
scripted it! For instance, I just finished a powerful script to locate
duplicate contacts in your Address Book called "Duplicates Report".
Wow! Does anyone know of any scripts available (free or otherwise)
that will do this in Eudora Pro? (Paid version, 4.3.3) I know I'm
probably dreaming...
There's probably a much better way, but I just experimented. I opened a copy of the Eudora address book using BBEdit to open it, sorted all the addresses, and then just reviewed them for duplicates. I didn't find any, but I did remove a few old addresses, save my work, and then moved the original address book to the desktop and replaced it with the edited version, then restarted Eudora. My changes had been incorporated. On the other hand, I don't actually see that that is any easier than just look at the address book itself, come to think of it!
