Hello list,

On Mac OS X, RR 2.8.1 I want to read the data in the adresscardfiles;  
so I tried:

----
on mouseup
   --set the folder with addresscards
   put "Users/MyUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/ 
MetaData/" into AdressFolder
   set the defaultfolder to AdressFolder
   --List of cards
   put files() into CardList
   filter CardList with "*AB*"
   --read first card
   put line 1 of CardList into CardFileName
   put AdressFolder & CardFileName into CardFilePath

   if there is a file CardFilePath then
     answer "ok"
   else
     answer "card not found!"
   end if
end mouseup
-----

The Answer is always "Card not found!"

I suspect, that the cause is the slash in the name of the  
adressfiles, so for instance:

"0B4A452B-0669-483C-B85E-4DB56F4CA2EC/ABPerson.abcdp"

If I do
put url("file:"&CardFilePath) into CardData
it is empty.

Any Help?
Thank You!

Richard.
