How do I export AOL contacts to a CSV file?

A friend of mine is wanting to change from AOL to Gmail. He has more than 100 contacts and of course doesn't want to retype each one. I can't find export on my friend's AOL mail account.

I've posted this question using a Google search and there are several responses and even you tube tutorials that all begin with going to "export" in AOL. I don't know whether it is a version difference or what. Also can't find this problem using a search of this forum. I'm sure that he must not be the only person with this problem. Maybe there's a workaround of AOL won't allow an export of all contacts.

If I don't get a response from this general query I'll revisit his home and get a few screen captures and post here, That may help.

Thanks.

Google has a tool to do it Google Apps Now Lets You Import Emails and Contacts into Gmail

Hi there
I've never used AOL but there surely must be some way of saving your contacts.

Once saved open in Notepad and save as CSV. Now open in EXCEL and you can then do whatever you want with it.

That's triggered my memory, go to AOL mail account on line, all you have to do is click on contacts > More > Export > gives you the choice of CSV, TXT or LDIF.
