Maybe. Maybe not. The variable will have a space at the front in any case.

I've tried and in my case it didn't work.

@t3k There are a few ways to do this, with the best one being to use workflow variables to allow the user to enter these arguments one at the time.

 

Here's a guide to using variables in workflows:

https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/advanced/variables/

 

You can then add the built-in Simple To-Do List workflow example to see the above example in action.

 

Alternatively, if you'd rather take one query and split it yourself, this thread covers that:

Hi vero thanks for the answer and sory for late replies.

I've understand a little about using query splitting playing with andrew's kitten image example.

Can you explain it more about using the workflows to input the argument one at the time?

@t3k I've just created you a simple example which uses comma as the separator and messaged it to you

Hi thanks andrew, I just playing the example but I ran to a problem which because it's an array it will convert %5B and %5D to %255B and %255D. The problem is similiar as this: link. And in my case it will make the query not working. Is there any solution?

It splits the input {query} on commas (IFS) and reads it into the array qarg. 

Thanks, will it work if it have a space between them? Like "1234, 5678" ?

Hi sorry to bump the old thread, but what this: 

IFS=',' read -a qarg <<< "{query}"

means?

And what happen if user not input all argument completely? (only several ones)

Hi there,

 

This isn't possible with standard web searches, but is possible with a simple workflow. If you have a Powerpack, pop your email address in the Powerpack field in the forum profile (only viewable by Vero and I), and I'll share my workflow with you

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Please email to me too, can I change it to be separated by comma, not space?

Hi all, so I want to make custom search for multiple argument and I need help.

I use Alfred v3 with powerpack, doesn't have many experience with programming.

The argument is for example:

• search keyword
• minimum price
• condition (used or new)

So when I type keyword and the argument separated by comma it will search to several website that I have registered.

Example:

User input aaa, bbb, ccc

Will search:

1. website1.com/xxx=aaa&yyy=bbb&zzz=ccc
2. website2.com/xxx=bbb&yyy=aaa&zzz=ccc
3. website1.com/xxx=ccc&yyy=bbb&zzz=aaa
4. so on

(the structure for each website is different)

condition:

• If input only aaa, not bbb or ccc, dismiss argument for bbb & ccc
• If input olly for aaa & bbb, dismiss ccc.
• The condition (new/used) is different for each website, so need to change from the given keyword to wach website format.

Hope it is clear enough. What is the best way to do it?

Any help would be appreciated.
