Making a workflow collecting multiple variants from the input

[kimillian]

Hi all, I've always been wondering whether there's a way to collect multiple variants from the input. I only know how to use keyword {query}, that's only 1 variable. 

For example, I want to type in "100" a numeric value for the price, "For a dress" as a text for the description. What should I do? 

- Is there a way, like a pop-up or something to collect more information other than the default Alfred popup? 

- Or, should I use some features in the "utilities" to process the one-line text that I input. For example, I still type in "100, For a dress", and I can use "utilities" to split it into 2 variables based on an identifier, like a ",".?

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Take a look at the Split Arg Utility (the link is to the relevant Alfed help page). Do post again if you're still having difficulties after experimenting with that.

@kimillian Here's a fun example workflow to take a look at where you enter the height and width at once, which are then split into two variables to create a URL:

It uses the Split Arg utility mentioned by @Stephen_C
