| How do I AppleScript a search of the Contacts application if I know the phone number? The application is a CallerID lookup so I just need to return the first name in the Mac Contacts application that has the phone number I’m searching for.
This script works to find every contact by name. tell application "Contacts" get name of first person whose name contains "Bill" end tell
This script does NOT work to find every contact by phone number and results in the error below. What am I doing wrong? tell application "Contacts" get name of first person whose phone contains "805" end tell
error "Contacts got an error: Can’t make phone into type specifier." number -1700 from phone to specifier
Thanks in advance, |
