This does the trick purely in AppleScript using the Satimage OSAX:

tell application "Contacts"
tell group "Family"
set phoneNumList to value of every phone of every person
end tell

end tell
try
quoted form of phoneNumList
on error e
set phoneNumList to splittext e using "[ {}A-Za-z'\\\\‘’\\\",\\.]+" with regexp
end try
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
return phoneNumList as string

One of the ugly things about this is that if you want to get “\\” into a regular _expression_ you have to quote it twice.

So AppleScript converts \\\\ into \\ and converts \\\” into \”, and \\. into \. within the regular _expression_.

You also end up with a blank line at the beginning and the end.

It seems that there is a problem with our regex instruction.

Here, it returns :

tell current application

splittext "Il est impossible d’obtenir quoted form of {{\"0645914322\"}, {}, {\"06 46 60 33 66\", \"06 45 24 95 66\"}, {\"00 (1) 605 532 66 23\"}, {}, {}, {\"06 26 19 63 14\"}, {\"02 33 66 53 15\", \"06 32 26 56 10\"}, {\"06 92 09 96 92\"}, {\"06 93 63 96 40\", \"06 26 13 60 65\"}, {}, {}, {\"03 56 96 96 04\", \"06 61 55 31 60\"}, {\"01 66 62 11 15\", \"06 10 01 05 00\"}, {\"06 93 44 06 62\"}, {\"06 55 60 09 66\"}, {\"01 65 51 29 06\", \"06 26 61 53 43\", \"01 36 56 56 50\"}, {}, {}, {\"06 46 52 05 29\"}, {\"06 49 56 09 39\"}, {\"02 33 04 93 94\"}}." using "[ {}A-Za-z'\\\\‘’\\\",\\.]+" with regexp

end tell

Résultat :

0645914322

(1)

605

532

Don't try to use the phone numbers, they are anonymized ;-)
