directory entry index

[joemudd]

How can I get the directory entry index for an entry whose name I know?

The dialfind manual states this: "Finds the entry name and/or index associated with a specified name in the specified class."

However, I can't figure out how to have it return the index rather than the entry name.

Anyone know how to retrieve the index of a particular entry?

Thanks in advance.

My suspicion is that the discussion of the dialfind command is incorrect when it talks about returning an index.

The only way I am aware of to associate an entry name and its index is the dialname command, but it works in the other direction. I think the only way to do what you want is to use the sample script from the dialcount command (to determine the number of entries in the Connection Directory and loop through them), then compare the name of the current Connection Directory entry to the one you know. Then, you would be able to determine the index
