Split Arg by NUL byte (`\0`)?

[luckman212]

Can the https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/utilities/split-arg/ workflow action be coerced into splitting on the NUL byte, a-la xargs -0?

 

When I try to pass a Script Filter's output with its arg set to a NUL-separated string, I get an error like this...

Wouldn’t you be better served by simply passing multiple arguments? arg can be an array.

Sorry, I haven't had my morning coffee yet but– I'm not following you Vitor. How can I output an array from my Script Filter?

[vitor]

It’s a regular JSON array. Instead of "arg": "one coffee" you do "arg": ["first coffee", "second coffee"]. That will be passed to the next object as multiple arguments.

 

Oh, and good morning!

Holy crap. It works.

Is this a new feature (that arg can be an array)? I have been using Alfred for 7 years and never knew this.
