Is there a way to do it w/o the hotkey? I never remember all the hotkeys I have set up!

Is there a way to open an URL like this 'http://somesite.com/{clipboard}'?

I don't know of one off the top of my head but this shouldn't be too complicated. Would they always be in a specific starting format or would it vary?

Varying.

Easiest would be to strip out all formatting then add the 1 (if necessary) then add the formatting.

I often copy phone numbers out of web pages/emails, etc and need to paste them in a specific format (1-234-567-8903).

Is there a workflow that takes what's selected (or on the clipboard), formats and puts it back on the clipboard?

Holy smokes! Please don't apologize, I wasn't expecting anything from you!

Awesome, thanks!

You COULD by duplicating the Wolfram workflow and editing the keyword and the code a little. Would you feel comfortable making code edits?

Yes, with help.

I actually have that installed already!! Nice

Any way to shorten 'w area code' to 'ac'??

As the subject states.

Imo you can easily do that yourself - add a hotkey to the workflow, set "selection in OS X" as the argument and connect that with the script filter in Alfred.

Ya, I figured that out just after I posted it. Turns out I don't need all that complexity. My own workflow is stupid simple:

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Skype"
	send command "CALL " & q script name "Call Skype"
end tell
end alfred_script

any way to have a key combo to grab the currently selected text?

I  am in sales and call a lot of numbers I get from websites, so I'd like to be able to select the number, then hit a key combo and have skype dial it.

Thanks

Something like this could be done using the allareacodes.com api, but, getting back a city & state.... I don't know about because an area isn't tied to a city directly. For instance, I'm originally from MS and the 662 area code covers the entirety of north MS. 

There's always at least one city tied to an area code.

That API looks like it would work....I guess I will figure out if I can do it.

Thanks

Is there a workflow to look up area code? I tried searching in the forum but "area code" and "areacode" have no results and area code returns too many.

I'm looking for one that just take a 3 digit area code and returns the city & state.

I could probably cobble something together if there was an easy service to pull from, but I'd really rather not.

That workflow has 'Copy to Clipboard'  in it.

Is that right?

I had/have Alfred dropbox syncing turned on.

I had to rebuild my Mac. When I got Dropbox set up and re-installed Alfred and re-enabled syncing, I didn't pick up my workflows.

How can I bring them across from my backup?

I'd like to be able to call a contact via Skype.

I see how I can pass the number to a URL, but how do I get the number in there. The URI scheme is skype:<number to call>?call

How do I pass in the contact's number? What is the name of the parameter/variable.

I searched the docs but didn't see anything.
