Using variables in shell commands

[pixelgeek]

So is this a thing I can do in a Run Script object?

 

cd "${var:hugoBlogPath}"

 

I want to store paths to the user's content directory and terminal commands and then execute them in a Run Script object but it doesn't appear to matter how I format the commands they don't work.

So I did some more testing and used the debug tool and found out that you don't add the `var:` part of the variable declaration

 

So it is

 

cd ${hugoContentPath}"

 

This will let Alfred do variable substitution in the Run Script object.

Specifically, variables in scripts are passed as environment variables. How you read them depends on the language, there’s a knowledge base article on it.
