If I can… There is something left to adjust. The number should increment ONLY on working days, NOT on Saturdays and Sundays… maybe I'd need an if…then cycle before the actual day_difference routine?

Hey Vitor, thank you a ton! Didn't mean to make you work in my place… but you're definitely more than welcome ;-) I owe u 1… g

I don't really care about the year, after all, you should change it once in a year time… Today's string is the one I've posted: /content/xxx/eveningnews/2016/603/web/popover/ban_whatever So, you're suggesting to do it via a workflow, implying a little script. Can't GREP come in handy? Thank you for the quick reply, Guido

Hello everyone, I'm new to Alfred, purchased few weeks ago and now I'm fiddling with it, using very few features. I guess I'll discover more and more from now on. One question: every day, for a newsletter, I have to paste a string like /content/xxx/eveningnews/2016/603/web/popover/ban_whatever At the moment, I'm using a snippet with a generic string, but the thing is that every day the number after the year increases by one (instead of /603/ should be /604/). Is this something the can be automated in Alfred? Where should I start? Maybe scripting? Thank you, sorry for my english, I'm from Rome, Italy…

No, I'd like to bypass completely the System Keyboard Shortcuts and trigger them from Alfred. By the way, the Services themselves are actually triggers to Automator Workflows. So, MAYBE, I could trigger the latter. Would it be easier to accomplish? Thx, g

Yes, it is indeed. And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. But considering that I need to trigger 15 to 20 services and being lots of Shortcuts already used by System itself, I wanted to keep them neatly ordered, like: Alfred activation shortcut > 1 Alfred activation shortcut > 2 and so on…

Like I said in Topic Title, I'd like to trigger some Apple services (the ones you call by right-clicking on an item, i.e.). I can't find a way to do this… Thx, Guido
