There has been a milestone breakthrough in software development.
The new BBDB Helper Kit.  

Have you ever dreamt of being able to type things at the command line
like 
`get pizza' 
           or 
`get Bill' 

and have the phone number magically appear before your eyes.

Your dreams have come true...  But of course you'll have to name it
`get' and put it in your path.  Maybe edit the filename, if yours isn't in
the standard place.

Hmmm... probably should mime this up and attach it.... but its just
under 800 lines of code so I guess I'll just in line it.

cat get:

#!/bin/sh

awk -F"\\\(" '
/'"$1"'/{gsub(/[]")[]|nil|\\n| 0/,"")
print $1"\n"$2"\n"$3"\n"$4
}' ~/.bbdb
