VCF Files parser

[mLipok]

Has anyone tried to do VCF files parser?
I and my colleagues serve about 60 clients but in the address book we have about 800 phone numbers.
Mostly these are the same numbers but different names.
Sometimes after changing the device (mobile phone), it turns out that it could have used to change names.
Sometimes such conversion are dictated by changing the type of customer (type of services).
It requires the ability to mass changes in the contacts, and the best fit would be able to parse VCF files.

So maybe someone has something in this regard already created?
Or do I have to go about it from scratch?

Seems there are a lot of free VCF to CSV converters available on the net.
Doing mass changes in CSV files should be much easier.
Then convert them to VCF again.

I was searching this few times.
The only one thing I found was:

https://vcftools.github.io/downloads.html (not related to contacts list)

But after first look I think your tools/URL's it just hit the jackpot.

Thanks.

But at least the Excel VBA can give you an idea how to code a parser
