You may shorten your code :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tell application "Contacts"

tell group "Famille"

set phoneNumList to value of every phone of every person

end tell

set tid to text item delimiters

set text item delimiters to {return}

set phoneNumList to (phoneNumList as text)

repeat while phoneNumList contains return & return

set text item delimiters to {return & return}

set phoneNumList to every text item of phoneNumList

set text item delimiters to {return}

set phoneNumList to phoneNumList as text

end repeat

set text item delimiters to tid

if last character of phoneNumList is return then set phoneNumList to text 1 thru -2 of phoneNumList

set phoneNumList to paragraphs of phoneNumList

—————————————————————————————————————————————

I’m sure I’m missing something here, but why not do something like this instead? It’s shorter, you’re not changing the delimiters, and not dealing with paragraphs and characters.

tell application "Contacts" to tell group "Solicitors" to set phone_num_list to value of every phone of every person

set solicitor_list to {}

repeat with each_contact in my phone_num_list

repeat with each_phone_num in each_contact

set solicitor_list to solicitor_list & each_phone_num

end repeat
