Let user select a file

[jemostrom]

I'm pretty new to workflows so this is probably really basic but I can't figure out how to do this:

I have a set of text file templates that I want to paste into different apps, my problem is that I want to

1. list these templates in some way
2. let the user select one of these file
3. open the file, do some changes and paste it into the desired app

My problem is step 1 and 2, how do I do this in Alfred?

A file filter sounds like a good fit for this. In the workflow editor, add an Input->File Filter. This will allow you search for files of a certain type, within a certain directory, or match other metadata fields as well.
