in reply to Re: Re: Re: Re: Check your property Names in the Outlook ContactItem Class
in thread Perl control of Outlook import to contacts with win32::OLE
use strict; use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook'; $|++; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # Throw Errors, I'll catch them my $OL = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application', 'Quit'); my $NameSpace = $OL->GetNameSpace("MAPI");
I used this to fill in some values:
my $Contacts = $NameSpace->Folders("Personal Folders")->Folders("Cont +acts"); my @names = qw(Chuck Charles Charlie Chuckles); foreach my $name (@names){ my $NewContact = $Contacts->Items->Add(); $NewContact->{FirstName}=$name; $NewContact->{LastName}="Charbeneau"; $NewContact->Save(); print "Added $name\n"; }
And this to delete the names I don't like:
$Contacts = $NameSpace->Folders("Personal Folders")->Folders("Contact +s")->{Items}; my $Cacharbes = $Contacts->Find("[LastName]=Charbeneau"); my $cnt = 0; while (1) { if ($Cacharbes->{FirstName} eq "Chuckles"){ $Cacharbes->Delete(); } $Cacharbes = $Contacts->FindNext() || last; }
The thing is, the find and find next function only return a single item from the main collection.
Each item in a Contacts folder collection has a unique ->{EntryID} property, but it's not something you can remmber off the top of your head.
