Any method for creating a CSV file out of an Address Book contact?

[tuqqer]

Aside from a custom AppleScript, anyone know of a way to get selected Contacts in the Address Book into a CSV format (Comma Separated)?

[deckeda]

Yeah but it might not be pretty. One way is, you can export the contacts as vCards and force Excel to open them up (Get External Data/from Text file ... change choices to "all files" so that it recognizes the vCard) and go through the "wizard"

After that you can Save as Comma separated file. But like I said, it might all be lucky.

Excel will NOT open an exported Address Book database file.

Sorry, this is probably more help: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=convert+vCard+to+comma+separated&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
