Name: Listtogrp.aem
TO BE USED BY REGISTERED USER'S ONLY
This ARexx script takes an ASCII list of email addresses and adds them to a
group in the Address Book. This is one method you can use to build a group
of email addresses.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT
----------------
This script is probably best placed in your REXX: directory.
HOW TO USE
----------
When the script is called you will be first asked for the name of a file
that contains your list of email addresses. This file is a list of email
addresses separated by a line feed as follows:
email_address_1<lf>
email_address_2<lf>
....
email_address_n
You will then be prompted for a group nickname. A listview will be
displayed that asks you to "Select the Group Wanted". All the groups in
your Address Book will be displayed. You can click on the group you want
to add the list of addresses to. The group nickname and description will
appear in the string gadget below the list view. Click on [OK] or press
RETURN to accept this group.
If you want to create a new group, you can modify the nickname in the
string gadget and the description name. After ckicking on [OK] you will be
asked if you want to create it, enter a new name, or cancel. If you wish
to create it, the group will be created when the first email address is
processed. You will be immediately prompted, however, for the Group
Description (it will default to the description you entered in the list
view string gadget) and if you want to set the Send Header Only flag when
the group is created. If you want quotes surrounding the group
description, they should be entered with the group description string.
If the nickname is already used for an individual, you will be given an
opportunity to reentering the nickname or cancelling.
If you cancel the "Select the Group Wanted" requester or one of the error
notifications, you will exit from the script and will have to restart it.
After the last email address is added to the group, the following message
will appear:
Last Email Address Added
