Ok, i managed it to get the search term saved to a file. But how do i read that as a variable? It seems that it's not picked up by the file reading part of the workflow, the generated file has 2 lines, maybe it takes the second one? Heeeelp

Okay, is there no easier way to achieve that? Unfortunately, i'm not much into scripting and still confused Can anyone of you guide me a bit through this? 

Hello Folks, is anyone out there who can help me? Since i'm an absolute beginner in this matter, i'm pretty much stuck here. Cheers, Mike

Hy Tyler, no worries, thanks for your help so far. I need the functionality for my exams where i'm allowed to bring a computer (he has to be offline). So i can search a lot of documents with the help of Alfred, but i really need to expand the search within the document to save valuable time. I hope there's someone who can help me with my dreams

Hey, thanks Can you guide me a little bit through that? Do i set up a complete new workflow for that? Or how do i configure the filter so that i can find the pdf or the text in the pdf?

Hi there

i'm currently probing some of Alfreds Actions and Workflows and it seems i'm a bit stuck

I'm using a file filter which searches for pdf in a specific folder and opens a pdf with a specific text in it. After that, i have a second action RunNSAppleScript and i want to search for that particular text within the preview app. I'm using "keystroke q" to input the search parameter into the search field but it enters the whole filename there instead of my original search parameter. How do i work that out? 

Cheers

Mike
