XMLScriptFilter with Bash


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

I was playing around with the Script Filter XML a bit and now I have the following script, which does not work, but I cant tell why:

cat << EOB

echo "<?xml version='1.0'?>"
echo "<items>"
for line in $(gpg --list-keys | grep -E -o "\b[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\b")
do
    echo "<item uid='$line' arg='$line'>"
    echo "<title>$line</title>"
    echo "</item>"
done
echo "</items>"

EOB

Strange thing is: When I execute the script in my bash an copy the output as xml in the ScriptFilter, everything works fine. I suspect escaping to be the problem, but can not get it to work...

 

Any ideas?

Would you mind popping your Powerpack email address into your forum profile (only viewable by me and Vero) before asking for Powerpack support, cheers! :)

Hi Andrew,

 

yep I have. If I put the Output from my regular .sh script directly into the Script Filter Window (the static XML) it works fine.

 

Output looks like this...

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<items>
<item uid='blablabla' arg='blablabla'>
<title>blablabla</title>
</item>
...(more items here)
</items>

Thanks, Paul

Why are you using both cat and echo? You should only be using one of them; remove the “cat << EOB” and “EOB” lines, does it work?

Mmmmh, doesnt work either...

 

I uploaded the Workflow, so you can test it. Maybe it works for you. Keep in mind that you need need gpgTools installed: https://gpgtools.org/

Thanks Very Much

Have you installed gpg via homebrew, or a similar tool? It’s an easy to solve, but frustrating problem. Since Alfred does not read your PATH, you need to add something like PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH (or wherever you have gpg installed) to the top of your script, so it can find it.
