Applescript question, deleting inactive contacts

[Steve Schow]

I am trying to write an applescript that will go through all the 1000+ contacts that have accumulated, and delete the ones which are no longer active. I have maybe 100 active contacts. By active I mean, they are currently an "added" yahoo user on my yahoo contact list that I see. When I remove a contact, adium seems to keep the contact object internally anyway, just in case I might add that contact again, then their complete info will still be there. I want to completely nuke the ones that are not active anymore.

So the question is, in Applescript when I'm looking at a contact object, how can I determine if that contact is currently on my actual yahoo contact list, as opposed to just lurking in the plist?

Here is some code I have so far:

-----------

tell application "Adium"
   repeat with eachAccount in every account of service "Yahoo!"
      set allContacts to get every contact of eachAccount
      repeat with eachContact in allContacts
         set dName to the display name of eachContact
         set uName to the name of eachContact
                     
         if (exists contact uName) then
            set existsStatus to "TRUE"
         else
            set existsStatus to "FALSE"
         end if
         
         if (blocked of eachContact) then
            set blockedStatus to "TRUE"
         else
            set blockedStatus to "FALSE"
         end if
         
          --  NEEDED HERE HOW TO DETERMINE ACTIVE CONTACT
         
         -- Display a confirmation box for deleting the contact permanently
         set question to display dialog "User=" & dName & "    " & uName & " 
         Exists=" & existsStatus & " 
         Blocked=" & blockedStatus & " 
         Do you want to delete?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
         set answer to button returned of question
         if answer is equal to "Yes" then
            -- delete it
         end if
         
      end repeat
   end repeat
   
end tell
