Hi All,
I have a number of mail only groups that contain quite a large number of users all the entries in the groups or in the Domino format:-
name surname/staff/org
Is it possible to extract the internet addresses from the names so that I can set up a distribution list on a none Domino system.
I could do this manually by cut and pasting from the person doc. but it would be very slow work.
Any help or advice???

Phil,
it’s not too complicated if you know a little Lotusscript. The members field in the group document is a multi-value field, so what you need to do is to loop through the entries in the members field, do a getdocumentbykey with the currently selected entry on the ($Users) view of the public names and address book, get the InternetAddress field, create a new array, and then add the value of the InternetAddress field as a new entry to this new array.
Finally, write the array to some place you’d like to have it.
To enhance your agent, it could automatically create a new group with a distinct groupname (say, if you’re having the group “Sales”, you’d create a group “Sales-Internet”) and write all the Internet addresses to the members field in this document.
A little bit of testing, but should work pretty nice.
Have fun,
