Leading and trailing 0's in Address Book???

I get a string of 0's after phone numbers in my address book. I transferred my addres book from a Treo 650 to my AT&T Centro. It seems that there are random 0's in the data and I can's seem to get rid of them.
Does anyone else have this issue???

I just tried the trial of DbFixIt and it detected NO errors in Contacts and only fouund errors in my calendar.
Other suggestions???
Would really like to get rid of these zeros!
Thanks,

REGEXP_REPLACE removing leading and trailing quotes.

Hello guys,
I have an issue with my regular expression and I'm hoping that someone can help me with it?
Imagine the following sample_data:
{code}
WITH sample_data AS
SELECT '''[email protected]''' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '[email protected]''' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]''' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '[email protected]''' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]' as e FROM dual
SELECT e, REGEXP_REPLACE(e, '(^'')?(.*)(''$)', '\2')
FROM sample_data;
{code}
I would like to remove all leading and trailing quotes from the address email. I did the previous regexp but it does not returns the correct result. I don't know why, but for some reasons, when my email does not ends with a quote, the leading quote is not removed.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,

Cant you just trim it?
WITH sample_data AS
SELECT '''[email protected]'''      as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]'        as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '[email protected]'''        as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]''' as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '[email protected]'''   as e FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '''[email protected]'   as e FROM dual
SELECT e, rtrim(ltrim(e, ''''), '''') new_e
FROM sample_data;

Add Attendees (name AND phone no.) from Address Book to iCal for iPhone use

Hello scripting gurus and newbs alike.
I've looked through the forums, but can't find a COMPLETE solution to what I believe should be a fairly straightforward problem. I'll start by asking the question as concisely as I can, then bring in more information about what I have tried, and learned, so far. I'll also outline my broad (mini) project aims at the end, in case anyone is interested.
* Q: How can I add attendees, from my Address Book, to an iCal event, so that **ALL** the attendee details are included?
Note: It is VITAL to me that attendees' phone number(s) are available through iCal, not just {display name, email, participation status}. This is because I want MobileMe to synch the event with my iPhone, so I can call attendees directly from iCal. (or at least have iCal open the attendee's Contacts record so I can call from there!)
WHY DO I THINK IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE?
Manually, I can simply dbl-click on the event, click into the attendees field, start typing the attendee name, and hit enter. When I do this, it works. MobileMe synchs it to the iPhone, I open iCal, select the event, tap the attendee, and I'm calling.
WHAT I'VE TRIED USING APPLESCRIPT
When I try the following script, I've only managed to set Sheila's name/email/participation status. I can retrieve her phone number from Address Book using the above approach, but unsure how to make it stick in iCal * such that I am able to use it to call directly from iCal on the iPhone *
++++++++++++++++++++++
tell application "Address Book"
set anAttendee to name of (first person whose name contains "Sheila")
end tell
tell application "iCal"
set newEvent to make new event at end with properties ¬
{summary:"Meeting Info.", location:"ZIP", description:"More yak", start date:SD, end date:SD + 120 * minutes}
make new attendee at end of attendees of newEvent with properties {display name:anAttendee}
end tell
++++++++++++++++++++++
WHERE I'VE LOOKED FOR SIMILAR EXAMPLES
Thanks to Rob (et al) for providing script examples used to create the above, see here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=5692
I've also looked at the following article, which makes me think I somehow need to use the PERSON ID in the event attendee list. Unfortunately, I have only managed to retrieve the ID, but had no joy trying to set it.
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech … index.html
THE PROJECT
I'm a surveyor, and using dialog(s) to enter relevant info., I'm looking to streamline my preparation for surveys when I make each new appointment.
My mini-project presently enables me to print survey forms (based on a Pages template) with details relating to the specific property (address/contact name&no./appointment date&time etc.) It also uses the appointment date&time to create the appropriate event in iCal.
I'm also confident I can add the contact details, such as agent/owner name(s) and phone number(s) in Address Book.
IF I COULD ONLY ADD THESE AS ATTENDEE(S), AS IF ADDED MANUALLY, I WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO PHONE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH A COURTEOUS REMINDER WHEN I'M ON THE WAY!!
Can anyone help me achieve this?
Here's hoping.
Phil (wiimixer)

Phil
Referencing the attendee in iCal will only directly record the properties you mention - because that's how it's designed to work and there's no way around the restriction unless iCal is changed.
You could set the phone number elsewhere in the iCal event - e.g. notes, location, ... - and that would probably allow you to call from iCal (I don't have an iPhone so I can't be sure), but I am not sure I see the advantage over using the link to iPhone's Address Book which is set up by adding an attendee to the event. This might be because I am being dense, so if this is the case please elaborate.
EDIT:
I have read your original post in more detail since I wrote the above. It seems to me that you are saying that when you add the person to the iCal event via AppleScript that you do not get the link to the iPhone's Address Book when you sync via MobileMe. You imply, however, that it does work when you type the name manually. Are these both correct statements?

Removing Leading And trailing Zeros

Hi Guys ,
Can You help me out in UDF for removing leading and Trailing zeros
Ex : 0123.234000000
And it must satisfy below conditions .
1 ) If value as Null we need 0.0 in target
2) if the value is 0.0 we need 0.0 in target
Thanks in Advance

One more option:
Input will be "str" of type string.
Execution type: single value.
mapping:
Input -> mapwithdefault(0.0)->UDF->output
if( !str.equals("0.0"))
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
for (int index=0; index < str.length();index++)
if (chars[index] != '0')
str =str.substring(index);
break;
int length,index1 ;
char[] chars1 = str.toCharArray();
length = str.length();
index1 = length -1;
for (int in1=index1-1; in1>0;in1--)

Removing leading and trailing delimiters from a String

I need to remove leading and trailing delimiters from a String like if my string is 111,112, then it should get changed to 111,112.Any idea how to do this??

for my suggestion:String s = "111,112,";
int begin = 0;
while (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(begin)))
begin++;
int end = s.length() - 1;
while (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(end)))
end--;
String news = s.substring(begin, end + 1);Of course, you'll have to clean it up a bit.

I have an iPhone 3g and it won't sync address book contacts.

I have an iPhone 3g and it won't sync address book contacts. My iPad does it via the cloud but now my iPhone won't do it. Please help.

Have you tried a "hard reset"? If so, I would take the phone to an Apple store. If not,
1. Make sure the phone is OFF
2. Hold the HOME button and then press the power button and HOLD IT.
3. Hold both buttons until the phone comes ON, goes OFF and come ON again (about 45 seconds)
4. Re-sync with iTunes.
Hope this helps.

When I try to add an email address (by clicking on the address and slecting the 'Add to Address book' option the email addrss does not stay in my address book

When adding an email address to my address book often it will stay in the address book until I close Thunderbird then it disappears and it won't pop up as a valid address when I am composing a note.

This usually means that the address book data file is corrupt.
I'd suggest you export your misbehaving address book to an LDIF file, delete the original address book then re-import its data from the LDIF file.
Note that you won't be allowed to delete either ''Personal Address Book'' (PAB) nor ''Collected Addresses'' (CA) within Thunderbird. You'll have to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete:
''abook.mab'' for PAB, or
''history.mab'' for CA.
When you next run Thunderbird, it'll create a new empty address book to replace the one you deleted. Import your address to a new temporary address book, then move the Contacts (drag-and-drop) into the preferred address book.

Apex: Removing leading and trailing blanks

Hi,
when observing end users working with my little apex application I noticed the input of leading and trailing blanks in a report search field. What do you recommend for removing this undesired input?
I tried an ltrim(rtrim(:p1_searchfield)) in the report SQL query - the result is fine.
But I have not found a way to keep the higlighting of the search word in the result set. There is a "highlight" property in the report field attributes dialog. But it looks like there is no way to enter any trim funtion over there. So the highlighting of matches does not work if there is a leading or trailing blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Cu
Walter

Walter,
I would use an "after submit" computation on :p1_searchfield
trim(:p1_filter)This way you won't have to change your select statement and the highlight term.

Remove leading and trailing puncation

What's the best way to remove leading/trailing puncation from a word? Trim is good for leading and trailing whitespace but can I do anything for leading and trailing punctuation. I need punctuation that's in the middle of a word.

one way would be to create an array of characters that include all the common punctuation marks. Then, using an iterative loop, compare each char in the file with each char from the array. If a match is found, then the file char is punctuation.

The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
Sign into your iCloud account.
Tick everything.
This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Create a new iCloud account.
Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
BAM!
That is all you need to do.
Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
No need to use iTunes

An efficient means of n naming and organizing Groups in the address book

Hello,
First, I hope you are having a nice day. If not, I hope it gets better soon!
Next, I would like to provide the following before explaining:
Here is an article regarding a novel means of uploading pictures with descriptions from a Mac to Flickr without a "third party" application.
A novel way to upload photos from a Mac, with a complete description, to Flickr [http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978195922].
A very simple example:
Possible list of names in the "Groups" section:
National Politicians
California Politicians
Texas Politicians
Colorado Politicians
In the address book, the above would be organized in the following order with "N" names between. "N" is the other alphabetical names:
California Politicians
<N>
Colorado Politicians
<N>
National Politicians
<N>
Texas Politicians.
*Greater Efficiency*
In my opinion, the following is more efficient means of naming and organizing the address book:
Politicians.National
Politicians.California
Politicians.Texas
Politicians.Colorado
As long as the spelling of the first description and period are included, the latter will be organized as follows with "n" "group names" where "group name" is the "Politicians." group with a "name" between:
Politicians.California
<n>
Politicians.Colorado
<n>
Politicians.National
<n>
Politicians.Texas
If the above four are the only names in the "Politician." "group name", the list would be organized as follows:
<N>
Politicians.California
Politicians.Colorado
Politicians.National
Politicians.Texas
<N>
* The Colon and Problem with "linking" in Mail*
As a side note, I have noticed some Library of Congress links do not "link" in Mail. As an example, I recently noticed that I could not "link" the following "URL" because there was a ":" at the end. If the ":" is not present, the URL will lead to a different page. I will be contacting Apple technical support and report this problem, but, I have figured out a way to circumvent this problem. I explain below.
+Link with colon and then a colon and zero+
• Library of Congress: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.2925:
If you paste the above link into the Mail message body and select "Edit" » "Link" » "Add" and "Paste" the link into the text box, the "Add" button will not be triggered. If the ":" is removed, the "Add" button will be triggered and highlighted. Sadly, the link will be incorrect.
Circumvention
In the above case, the solution is quite simple. Just add a zero, "0", after the colon, ":" , as such.
• Library of Congress link with a zero: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.2925:0
The above link works and Mac's Mail "Add" feature will add a properly working link to the message body.
By the way, please ask your Congressional Representatives to support the above bill!
Have a nice day! By the way, I am a Chemical Engineer in search of employment! :•)

So how the Addressbook's Group List would look after syncing with the Soho Organizer's Contacts Subgroups organization? If Address book don't have that ability of Subgrouping.
I have been researching after a while now every single possible way without a luck. Please let me know if you find a solution.
Here are a are a couple of interesting apps that are taking contacts organization more seriouslly. But still dont have the answer for it.
5degrees.
http://www.5degrees.us,
$9.99 a month
Desktop and iphone.
Bento
Great for customizing the contacts template.
Also an iphone app.
http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/
My favorite would be Cobook Contacts since they also have the iphone app. Very clean design.

But still, none of this have the Subgroup organizing feature.
Please let me know if toy find a solution.

Updated to 10.6.8 and now safari, system preferences, address book say "can't use this version"

Got a new harddrive in my 2010 macbook pro and rebooted it with time machine back up from a older mac running 10.5.8. I loaded snow leopard 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.6.8 on new computer after restore from back up. Now the Safari icon, system preferences and address book won't open and a box opens saying you can't use this version of the application system preferences with this version of mac os X You have sytem preferences 5.2. or safari says you have safari 5.0.6 etc. How do i update the apps so i can make them actually open. I can get them open in a round about way but not from the icons on my sidebar.

If you have an os on the hdd, why not do a clean install of the os (erase the drive and reinstall osx snow leopard) For snow leopard you insert the osx disk, restart the machine while holding down the c key

Lack of First and Last Name Reversal in Address Book

I just got a new iMac and transferred the contents of my old eMac running on OS 10.3---(latest) using the Mac transfer system. Problem: in the address book most of the cards do not respond to the Preference setting for First or Last name first. Some do, they toggle back and forth as I change the setting, but most stay unchanged with the Last name first. All respond properly to changes in the sort setting.

I know the phones only have a single Name field, but there is such an option to change the sort order and display! Did you look in the menu I listed?
I've just tried it with 5 Sony Ericsson phones I have with me here (W610, K800, K510, Z610 & W200) and that I use iSync with on a daily basis and the option is there and it works perfectly.
It's in the W810 manual on Page 62:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/userguides/w810i
where it says:
"To select sort order for contacts *> Contacts > Options > Advanced > Sort order* to select sorting by first or last name"
With *Sort order* set to *By first name* it displays:
Anne Baker
Bill Smith
Charles Jones
With *Sort order* set to *By last name* it displays:
Baker, Anne
Jones, Charles
Smith, Bill

How do i copy and print groups from my address book?

How do I copy and print groups(with contact information) from address book? I want to copy a group of contacts in list form that ideally I can paste into Excel.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you are coming from pre-Mountain Lion, then Address Book has changed to Contacts.
Open Contacts.
Select an Account in the group list, if you want the contact in a specific group. If Groups aren't showing, you can display them from the View menu.
Click the Add card button ( + ).
Enter the information for the contact.
If you need multiple entries for a particular field type, a new blank entry will show up below the one you are adding.
If you need other fields, use the Card menu to Add a new field type.
If you want to change the default fields available when you create a new card, choose Edit Template…
If you have sent emails to someone and you want to get that address to add to a Contact, use the Previous Recipients command in the View menu in Mail.
If you need to add a new Group, hover the cursor over the account name, and a + button will appear. Click it.

Drag and drop from mail to address book not happening

Hi guys, I can no longer drag email addresses from Mail into Address Book. The address just bounces back. I've repaired permissions, installed the latest security update, repaired permissions again, rebooted twice. Any ideas?
Mail 4.5. Address Book 5.0.3 (883). Mac OS 10.6.8. MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Hi mbriscoe, I've since upgraded to Lion and the same downgrade of functionality exists. I can no longer drag and drop an address from Mail into Address Book. I now have to click name, wait for menu, select Add to Address Book, go into Address Book and find the name I just added, then drag the name into the specific group I want it to be in. It used to be very useful, the drag and drop, in an "it just works" kind of way. Now it's not.
