solved How to create a workflow to search through pre-filtered clipboard items?

[Alfred0]

Hi, I'm trying to create a workflow that allows me to search through clipboard items that have been pre-filtered to match a certain string.

The basic workflow idea would be to:

• Invoke the workflow and have it list all clipboard history items that match a certain pattern eg. let's say all clipboard items containing "alfredforum.com". 
• Then what I'd like to be able to do is filter through the matching results by typing additional characters eg "clipboard" which would show me all clipboard items matching both "alfredforum.com" and "clipboard".

 

Does anyone know if that's possible and how I might go about achieving it?

The first option requires some coding. The Clipboard history is stored in the SQLite database at ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Databases/clipboard.alfdb. Query that and show the results in a Script Filter.

Alternatively, you can get it fast with some GUI automation. Ready-made Workflow.

Thanks @vitor, wouldn't have thought about the GUI automation!!
