Running query in AppleScript

[andy4222]

I'm trying to right run the below query as AppleScript but it Alfred doesn't seem to replace the "$1" with the passed in query (i have set "with input as argv"). However it works with "{query}" (and setting with input as (query"). It is because I'm right running it as AppleScript? Other ways to run this?

 

``

tell application id "com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred" to search "pw $1"

```

 

Also, side question, but I'm trying to send the text to the Alfred bar and only found this way to do it, any easier (in-built) way to do this?

with input as argv does not mean “use $1”, that’s just how Bash and Zsh determine the first argument. You have to use the appropriate syntax for each language. When you make a Run Script and change the language, Alfred shows example code that tells you how to do it. In AppleScript it’s item 1 of argv.
