How to get result from script into copy to clipboard

[Michelle]

Hi all,

Love Alfred (v4.3.2 [1221]) but I tried a long time to calculate px to vw with an alfred workflow (before2-3). Script is working but my {query} in the copy to clipboard is always empty.

But if I have only one argument and split it, then it is working (after2). But it is a little bit strange, is there a solution with 2 args? Thank yo so much!

It’s very difficult to say what’s wrong with code you can’t run, but you almost certainly don’t want print(). That adds a newline. Either use sys.stdout.write() or from __future__ import print_function and print('%.1f' % result, end='')

Yes I changed it:

 

import sys

px, vw = map(float, sys.argv[1].split('/'))

result = (px/vw) * 100
if result == int(result):
  sys.stdout.write('%d' % result)
else:
  sys.stdout.write('%.1f' % result)

 

But still do not know, why I cannot have 2 arguments, it only works with one.

What do you mean 2 arguments? Do you mean the fact that the search query from Alfred is always one argument?
