Awesome! Thanks! I didn't even think about that, but now I know. Sweet deal. 

There has to be something missing in the workflow or script then. I know you say it works at the terminal but, if your script is producing output, the Copy to Clipboard item should work.

I've made a short video covering the issue:

As you can see they each do the following:

1. Runs the script and tries to send it to copy to clipboard - fails doesn't copy anything (leaves old clipboard)

2. Runs in Terminal and tries to send it to copy to clipboard - fails doesn't copy anything (leaves old clipboard)

3. runs script with pbcopy - copies blank

4. runs in terminal with pbcopy - copies the output properly

Copy to Clipboard doesn't work either. I was using pbcopy because it was one less step, and was integrated into what I was already doing. 

Hi there, I'm trying to make a workflow that does the following:

1. type in keyword

2. have alfred "Run Script" which looks like the following: "node ~/documents/scripts/javascript/haiku.js | pbcopy"

3. Have the output from the node process copy to the clipboard as it should.

This does not work, and I get an empty clipboard.

However if I do the same thing, but instead of "Run Script" I do "Terminal Command", it works just fine and I get the output from the node process copied to my clipboard.

Is this a limitation of the "run script" option?

Thanks.
