newline (\n) added when var will be set

[Acidham]

I am not sure if I miss something but when I set a variable after an applescript returns a value the var always contains a newline (\n).

 

I created a test workflow which shows the newline issue: https://db.tt/XmeYCGT5oL

 

Any idea why Alfred adds the \n to the end of the value?

It’s not Alfred adding the newline, it’s the return statement. If you do an echo in bash, for example, you’ll get the same result (unless you do it with echo -n).
 

For the specific use case of that example workflow, you can use a Utilities → Transform → Trim Whitespace between the Run Script and the Args and Vars.

Thx Vitor! I was playing with Transform Utility but I always tried newline ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

With Trim Whitespace it works.
