Although the AppleHelp for Address Book says explicitly “You can use Address Book to remember your friends’ birthdays”, its search box ignores the birthday field. I want to say something like this:
tell application “Address Book”
set thePeople to every person where month of birth date is “December”
… etc …
It compiles fine but the app doesn’t like it
(NSCantCreateScriptCommandError). I tried a few obvious variations.
Can I do this in the one-liner where clause like I want, or will it
take something more complicated?
Thanks, Jon, that was just what I needed. Nice touch, first getting only the entries that actually have birthdays, that saves lots of time. Where did you come by the info about “missing value”? I didn’t find it in the Address Book dictionary.
