Hello shankonit,

I see that pme already showed you working code for parsing the file yourself. Alternatively, you could use the vCard module to access the data in your vcf files. For example,

file.vcf, Note: the vCard module requires windows line endings in the vcf file
BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:;Naresh;;; FN:Naresh TEL;TYPE=CELL;TYPE=PREF:+917734807608 END:VCARD
test.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use vCard; my $vcard = vCard->new; $vcard->load_file('file.vcf'); print "Full Name: ", $vcard->full_name, "\n"; my $pref_phone_num; foreach my $phone ( @{$vcard->phones} ){ if($phone->{preferred} == 1){ $pref_phone_num = $phone->{number}; } } print "Preferred Phone Number: ", $pref_phone_num, "\n"; exit;
Output of test.pl
Name: Naresh Preferred Phone Number: +917734807608
