Veiw any contacts NOT in a group?

Question

Hi,
is there any way to view all/any of my contacts in address book that HAVEN’T yet been put into a group? Or to put another way: group my ungrouped contancts into a group.....
Those of you who are used to Palm OS know what I’m talking about.
I could go through each contact one by one... but that would be very, very dull.
Thanks

This one has been posted before, but it should do what you want. Run it in Script Editor and it will display the ungrouped contacts in the Result pane. Make a group called Special and uncomment the "add ThisGuy ..." line ind it will put them into the group Special.

if (count of groups of ThisGuy) is 0 then
set Loners to Loners & (name of ThisGuy & return)
