clipboard access

[anandsunku]

i would like to access the clipboard content from the terminal command so that i can pass it as an argument.

 

but when i tried to access the same it is literally printing the {clipboard:1}. 

 

Please help me on this regards,

 

cd "{query}"
echo {clipboard:1}
git difftool --dir-diff "{clipboard:1}".."{clipboard:2}"

 

 

output in the terminal 

{clipboard:1}

We can’t properly help you without access to your Workflow.

Debugging can already be hard with access to the code, and you’re asking us to guess yours from a description. There are multiple places where you code or Workflow setup may be going wrong. Without looking at it we’re shooting in the dark, which is a waste of time for everyone involved (including you).

Read the Reporting Problems with Workflows topic, as it gives a nice overview on how to build an effective report.

in the attached one : the not working file action is "gitdiff"

alfred version: 3.5[876]

macos : 10.12.6 (16G29)

 

Please let me know your comments:

Add and Argument and Variables Utility between the gitdiff File Action and the Terminal Command.

 

Make it look like this.

 

Then change the Terminal Command to look like this.
