Hi all, I've always been wondering whether there's a way to collect multiple variants from the input. I only know how to use keyword {query}, that's only 1 variable. 

For example, I want to type in "100" a numeric value for the price, "For a dress" as a text for the description. What should I do? 

- Is there a way, like a pop-up or something to collect more information other than the default Alfred popup? 

- Or, should I use some features in the "utilities" to process the one-line text that I input. For example, I still type in "100, For a dress", and I can use "utilities" to split it into 2 variables based on an identifier, like a ",".?

Thank you so much for your help! 

@Vero Thank you so much! 🤗 

For example, I want to type in "daystoday 20200113" to pass the result of the days between 20200103 and today. How should I do that?

I don’t see what the issue is. Simply remove the <br> from the substitution and it works as you requested.

Hello Vitor,  my difficulty is that I need the replaced text to switch lines.

It seems that if I don't put <br> the text would simply go to one line without breaks.

@kimillian Could you also please specify what app you're pasting into? Please test anything in plain text TextEdit, as it's the most standard native app. You'll then be able to establish whether the issue is with the destination app manipulating what you're pasting. For example, Google Docs tends to manipulate what you paste.

Hello thank you for helping me out!

Can you try with this sample text:

Hello guys, I'm looking for help in building a workflow, by replacing the certain words in a paragraph to English. 

Our order processing system is not in English, so we need to translate these information when communicating with our customers and it consumes a lot of time. 

I know how to use "replace text" but I just don't know how to make the text to go to a different line. 

The original text is as follow.
