mac equivalent to address grabber?

Is there a Mac application that will allow me to select a name/address/phone/email on a webpage, email, document, etc and then import that data into Address Book? AddressGrabber and ListGrabber by egrabber.com work exactly that way with Windows and they are tremendous time savers. It is almost never necessary to create a new contact via typing, and you can imagine how nice it is to import hundreds of contacts into your address book with the click of a mouse.

I'm a recent convert to Mac and I'm generally very happy with the switch, but AddressGrabber and ListGrabber are two applications I am desperately missing. I can't believe there aren't some Mac equivalents.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

PHP Contact List Grabber RC1 seems to be cross-platform:

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. There isn't much info on the page you provided, but it says it's "used to grab the address book from Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!, Lycos, Myspace, orKut, and MSN Messenger contacts". It doesn't say what you can do with it after that, but that's not what I want anyway.

I need something that will let me select contact info from an email, document, or web page and then import that into Address Book or Daylite. That's what the eGrabber tools do for Windows users.

I didn't write it.

Sorry, I am too stupid to understand the difference.

It might be worth looking for what you need here:
