AddressImporter.sense Fri May 31 11:25:03 MDT 1996 This HyperSense document provides a tool for importing data from the NEXTSTEP address book format into HyperSense databases, enabling printing of formatted reports or mailing labels. To the archive administrator: The file AddressImporter.sense.compressed may be moved to the HyperSense directory. Douglas Simons Thoughtful Software doug@thoughtful.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In response to a recent request, I've created a small HyperSense document which makes it possible to print mailing labels or other types of formatted listings using data contained in NEXTSTEP address book files. The AddressImporter.sense document is able to read information from a standard NEXTSTEP address book (such as that found in ~/Library/Addresses/Examples.adresses). The information is copied into a HyperSense document, such as the Addresses.sense document which is included with the standard HyperSense distribution packages. Registered HyperSense users may also create custom document formats for receiving the data, if desired. The AddressImporter automatically copies data from the address book file into correspondingly named fields in a HyperSense document. If a matching field name is not found, the user is given the ability to specify which field each data item should be placed into. The process is very simple and straightforward, and is described in more detail in the online help contained in the document. Once the data has been imported into a HyperSense document, HyperSense's custom report layout facilities may be used to design a report format to fit any type of label stock, printed address book, etc. People using the HyperSensePlayer application (which is available with a free single-user license) may print using the standard report and label formats included with the Addresses.sense document. AddressImporter.sense is available by ftp at: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/AddressImporter.sense.compressed It should migrate from submissions to the /pub/next/HyperSense directory. To use the AddressImporter, you will need a copy of either HyperSense.app or HyperSensePlayer.app. Both of these are available in the HyperSense directory at peak. Using the Player you will be able to import, edit, and save address information in any existing HyperSense document. Using the full version of HyperSense, you may examine (and modify, if you choose) the SenseTalk scripts which implement the data importing, although the imported data will not be saved if you are running in demo mode. Naturally, registered HyperSense users may change any documents and scripts to their heart's content.
