solved [SOLVED] Need help with append to Pages with two variables

[jhncbrwn]

I'm trying to insert a second variable into an AppleScript based workflow but I can't get it to work.

 

This is the AppleScript part

 

set MyDocument to "{query}"
set MyText to "{var:text}"

tell application "Pages"
	open MyDocument
	tell front document
		set body text to body text & return & MyText
	end tell
	close front document
end tell

 

The MyTask variable consistently gets appended as {var:text} rather than the actual text passed.

 

Please see the workflow below

 

Append to Pages.alfredworkflow

 

Any advice would be appreciated

Variables don't work that way. See the pinned thread:

Deanishe thanks for your answer.

 

 I have figured out that the variables don't work that way ? 

 

The problem is I don't understand what I need to do to make it work.

 

Could you show me what I need to change in the workflow to make it work?

Like is says in the post: set MyText to (system attribute "text")

[jhncbrwn]

That worked!  

 

Thank you for your help.
