I’ve seen this misconception a number of times already, so I’d like to first clear that you do not need to make your workflows in python.

Okay. I've just looked up "search a textfile and display search results in a new textfile" and the linked article was the most accurate result, as far as I can estimate the accuracy of an article on that topic.

Let me know if it fits your needs.

It just works. Thank you.

I guess I am going to use it with Geektool on my desktop.

Cheers!

Hey folks!

Since I'm not a pythonista it's neccessary to ask you for some help.

I tried to create a workflow that simply does the following:

Search in a given textfile for {query} ->  extract the matching lines -> save matching lines in a textfile named results.txt

That's basically it. I found a python recipe which is relevant but I couldn't figure out how to adapt it for a workflow in Alfred.

I'm thankful for any help on that.

Cheers!

Thank you for sharing. Very useful!
Can't wait to set up my Pomodoros.

Hey guys,

the download link in the first post was deprecated, I updated it to use directly the file on Github :

https://github.com/loris/alfred-hackernews-workflow/blob/master/Hacker%20News.alfredworkflow?raw=true

 

This update should fix your select issue.

It works. Thanks!

Same problem as @phil.
