Wabiloo Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I'd like to create a workflow that allows the user to pass a string argument and then: 1) select from a list of websites (following which I'd parse the argument and generate a specific URL from it) 2) select what browser to open it with (similar to what Alfred does today when pasting a URL in the box and using the right arrow key) For example, imagine that I use "search2" as keyword followed by space then my argument (eg. "hello world") The user would then be able to choose "Google", "Altavista" and "Yahoo" from a nice Alfred list, and finally next would be the (optional) choice of a browser. Is that something that's possible? I struggle to find a way to providing both a List Filter and an argument as inputs... Link to comment
vitor Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Welcome @Wabiloo, Looks like you’ve already done some research and trials. The piece you appear to be missing is the Arg and Vars Utility to save arguments as variables between objects. You may also need a Split Arg Utility, depending on your implementation. Link to comment
Wabiloo Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks @vitor... Still confused though... The todo list example from the last section in https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/utilities/argument/ looks like it does something similar: take a string input first, then a second from a list filter. However, I cannot seem to find that example workflow anywhere. Any idea? Link to comment
