first off i am new so i apologize for all the aweful.

i am trying to get some contacts out of now contact into a tab delimited text file - i am having a ton of problems getting this to work to a text file in text edit and i am not quite sure why???


tell application "Now Contact"
	set tab to "tab"
	tell document 1
		set workcity to get work city of every person of selection
		set uniqueid to get unique id of every person of selection
	end tell
	set contactinfo to workcity & tab & uniqueid
	tell application "TextEdit"
		activate
		close every document saving no
		make new document at the beginning of documents
		set the name of window 1 to "Text"
		set zoomed of the front window to false
		set the text of the front document to contactinfo
	end tell
end tell

i get the error - NSUnknownKeyScriptError

i can’t get my container “contactinfo” to set to the textedit document. but if i change the contactinfo to something like a line of text “Hello World” it will work beautifully!!

any suggestions would be awesome, i am not asking for anyone to complete the script as i would love to learn how to do this, but if you could help me with why i am getting this error it would help immensely.

thanks!

When you get an error, some line or phrase is highlighted - where is that in your script?

set the text of the front document to contactinfo

thanks!
