vCards to Clipboard
A utility that puts the names of people into the clipboard from vCards. The cards can come directly from Address Book by selecting a group of cards and then dragging them onto the droplet.
Copy and paste into AppleScript Editor and then save as a droplet if you want to try it out.
on open vcards
set out to ""
repeat with this_vcard in vcards
set p to POSIX path of this_vcard
set s to "grep \"FN:\" " & encode(p) & "| cut -c 4-50"
set out to do shell script s
end repeat
set the clipboard to out
end open
on encode(this_path)
set tmp to ""
repeat with i from 1 to length of this_path
set ch to character i of this_path
if ch is equal to space then set tmp to tmp & "\\"
set tmp to tmp & ch
end repeat
return tmp
end encode
