Please excuse my lack of knowledge about java as I am just a regular user. I use TextExpander and found a JavaScript that can help me edit my reports. This is what I use in TextExpander

// Start with the clipboard content
var result = TextExpander.pasteboardText;

// Replace double ..
result = result.replace(/\".."/g,". ");

// Replace duplicate words
result = result.replace(/\b(\w+)\s+\1\b /g, "$1 ");;

// Replace double spaces
result = result.replace(/  /g, " ");

Is there any way to make Alfred to the same? I know I can create a javascript workflow that can be triggers using a keyboard shortcut but how do I make it work with clipboard content?

Can someone please help me solve this problem:

When I finish writing a report, I need to replace XX with the last name of the client. So far, I manually have to do these steps:

1. Copy the last name of the client

2. CMD+Option+F

3. Type XX

4. Hit Tab

5. Paste the last name of the client (CMD +V)

6. Move the mouse cursor to All button.

I use Ulysses for writing.

Can this be done faster?

You mean delete the filter and create it again in Alfred?

It is a combination of .md and .txt fils.

I have a combination of txt and md files.

This is what I have:

Please take a look at the screenshots:

I am having a very difficult time figuring out why when searching similar files (in-content search), Alfred only shows some but not other files.

My text files look like this:

Tags: #client
Status: #active

Note content

My Alfred search is setup to search within folder - Title + Content search. When I search for "#client client name" Alfred only reveals some files but not others. Spotlight shows all files.

Any ideas?

I am currently using OSX Mavericks and use built in text expansion instead of TextExpander or DashExpander. Everything works but OSX does not support automatic insertion of the current date. Is there anyway to achieve this goal to have "@dd" expand into YY-MM-DD?

Thanks.

Just downloaded your workflow. When i click newf - setup  I get this message:

New Text File With Tag 

Canceled 

I have about 2 thousands notes. I tried this workflow and so far it works faster - http://florianpellet.com/alfred/

Are there any other workflow other than this one? I am not really sure what happens in the background but when I search for something, I have to wait a few seconds for results to come back whereas if I use spotlight search, Evernote results are instant. 

I don't get any results other than the message "Evernote searching" ??

Edit: It started working. Does this workflow searches Evernote in background or does it rely on spotlight's metadata?

Is there a way to include a search for Evernote note titles only in the global search?
