Can't really figure out a rhyme or reason though.

 

Maybe it’s on contacts with multiple phone numbers. Check the debugger.

That's what I thought as well, but it's not.

 

Not sure I see any issues with debugger, but this is the first time I'm using it.

It seems like the regular expression fails to match a phone number.

Hi @petebocken, could you post the output of the following command from terminal? 

 

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print:Phone' '/Users/peter/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/336CF002-F2FC-41D8-B761-68FBD7453613/Metadata/52299394-FE3F-4A59-9F22-73EDC8AADDEA:ABPerson.abcdp'

 

The command basically outputs the phone entry of a given contact. For privacy reason, you can mask part of the phone number.

I see. In your case, a phone number can contain brackets. Try the following script.

 

query="{query}"

phone_num=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print:Phone' "$query" | grep -o -m 1 '^[[:space:]]*\(+\?[[:digit:][:space:])(-]\+\)[:space:]\?$')

echo -n $phone_num

That works, thanks so much!

Hi, first of all thank you for your great work. i just install the workflow, when i try make a call with contact name, facetime appears and then nothing happening, same thing with message app it starts with new message without any number. But if i write phone number mannually "call 0555 555 55 55 or sms 0555 555 55 55" it's working, same format inside of contacts. i cant understand why. is there a way to fix it?

Thank you for your reply. But in my case there is something else, when i type the command in the terminal

Quote

query="{query}"

phone_num=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print:Phone' "$query" | grep -o -m 1 '^[[:space:]]*\(+\?[[:digit:][:space:])(-]\+\)[:space:]\?$')

echo -n $phone_num

it says

Quote

Print: Entry, ":Phone", Does Not Exist

 

So it can't found "Phone" varrient, Also debug logs here 

 

It says there is no Contacts.app but i can see the Contacts.app in the app list and i can reach the contacts via app.

 

Alfred approved reach the contacts.

I have the same issue. Facetime opens and nothing happens. Where would I need to insert this code?

 

Thank you!
