Bash result inline?

[Garevans]

Hi Everybody!

 

I've been tinkering around with workflows tonight and had trouble finding a working example to show the results of a bash script in the search field.

Does anybody have a good clear example I can work from? 

 

My current code is very basic:

query="{query}"

curl -s https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aapl |grep '<meta name="price" content="' |cut -d'"' -f4

I've been able to export the results to large text / push notification, but I cannot find the option for inline search result (I hope I'm using the correct terminology)

Welcome @Garevans

 

For what you want, you need a Script Filter and return either XML or JSON.

For example, in your case the first line is unnecessary (unless you just forgot to insert ${query} in your second line, which seems like it can be the case). Add a Script Filter and make this the code:

query="${1}"
value="$(curl -s https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/${query} |grep '<meta name="price" content="' |cut -d'"' -f4)"

cat <<EOF
{"items": [
	{
		"title": "${value}",
		"subtitle": "${query}"
	}
]}
EOF

It should work like you want, and require only minor adjustments to your preferences.

@vitor this is perfect thank you, I should be able to adjust that script to tinker accordingly. I also appreciate the (very) swift response
