You, sir, are a life saver. Thanks for this!

There was a post from a while back that worked for me until a few months ago. We had a new shared drive installed and the old Alfred workflow doesn't work anymore. This was the old code: ---- path = "{query}" unc = "" if (path.start_with?('smb:')) # smb://NetworkDrive.corp.YYYY.com/Files/Folder/Folder parts = path.split('//') # ["smb:", "NetworkDrive.corp.YYYY.com/Files/Folder/Folder"] path_parts = parts[1].split('/') # ["NetworkDrive.corp.YYYY.com", "Files", "Folder", "Folder"] server_parts = path_parts[0].split('.') # ["NetworkDrive", "corp", "YYYY", "com"] unc = "\\\\#{server_parts[0]}\\#{path_parts[1..-1].join('\\')}" else # afp://NetworkDrive/Folder/Folder/ parts = path.split('//') # ["afp:", "NetworkDrive/Folder/Folder"] path_parts = parts[1].split('/') # ["NetworkDrive", "Files", "Folder", "Folder"] unc = "\\\\#{path_parts.join('\\')}" end puts unc ---- The above old code gives something like this: \\10\Department\.... What I now need is something that turns an OS X smb file path into the following: file:////tnx3k/Department/.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a new to Alfred workflows as of today after finding this post through a quick google search. This is something I'm dying to get working, but I'm having an issue. Created the workflow with Keyword "Share" with argument required > Connected to Ruby script and pasted the above > Connected to copy to clipboard Basically, I want to highlight the folder on the shared drive in finder, copy the location and send that link to the people in my department who are on PCs. When I launch alfred and type the keyword, the alfred launcher remains on the screen and it looks like the script isn't running. Nothing copied to the clipboard. What am I forgetting in the process? Thanks for the help in advance. --- Never mind. I think I figured it out. I was missing a key step like pasting the smb location into the alfred window. Now, is there a way to create a workflow that copies the smb location of a folder or file to the clipboard so I don't have to right click > get info > manually copy smb location?
