Poco General FAQ - Adding Address to an Address Book via a Script

Q: I am adding an address to an address book via a script but I don't see the new entry, what's wrong?
 
A:
Poco 2.1: I have found that Poco doesn't refresh it's address list after I add a new entry via a script if you add it using Poco's file handling commands. If you to this you must use one of the following methods to display the new entry:
  • Move to a new address book and then back to the original one    OR
  • Shutdown and restart Poco
  • .
Poco 2.5: Slaven has added several PocoScript commands to allow maintenance of address book information from within a script. See the AddAddress, AddRawAddress and RemoveAddress commands. Further address book support is available through the GetRawAddress and IsAddressPresent commands.

When these commands are used the address book display is properly updated.
