Addressbook Export Name/Address/Phone?

What is it about Apple that takes them 99% of the way there and then leaves us hanging?


I just realized that Address Book can only export ONE contact at a time. It had 3 options for importing. I guess they figure no one would ever need their data except in a way that they've designed?

Anyway, I am trying to export my contacts in this format:

Name,Address,Home,Work,Mobile

(The order of the phone #s is not important, as long as all 3 are exported.)

I found this

Export Address Book to records to CSV format

and made the necessary edit to save the exported file to my desktop, but it didn't work (no error message, it just starts and never stops and no output is created).
