Switch input to argument via keyword instead of hotkey

[dongarey]

This workflow accesses a Bible program (Accordance) and searches it for the 'selected verse reference' then pastes the result.  It works fine. Instead of a hotkey, I want to be able to type a keyword such as 'find' then a verse reference and have the reference run through the script.  Tried some of the more obvious approaches, but it just won't work for me.

 

 

 

 

Current configuration is -----

 

>>>Selection in OSX- Hotkey

 

>>>Run Script-

global theResult

global moduleName

global input

global citationFormat

 

set moduleName to "MLV 2016" --NOTE: Change this to change what version you paste, i.e. ASV, but keep in mind it must be available in Accordance.

set input to (the clipboard)

set citationFormat to "true"

 

 

getScriptureText(moduleName, input, citationFormat)

on getScriptureText(moduleName, input, citationFormat)

tell application "Accordance" to set theResult to «event AccdTxRf» {moduleName, input, citationFormat}

tell application "System Events"

set visible of process "Accordance" to false

end tell

end getScriptureText

 

tell application "System Events"

set the clipboard to theResult

 

 

end tell

 

>>>Copy to Clipboard - {clipboard} - Paste to frontmost

You need to use a Keyword Input with Argument Required to trigger your workflow.

In your AppleScript, change set input to (the clipboard) to set input to "{query}".

Okay.  For some reason my query is still not being passed into the script.  After running it will paste whatever was on the clipboard before it ran.

Could you post a screenshot of your workflow setup and the script code (in code tags, please)? Or better yet, upload the workflow somewhere.

It's hard to figure out what's going wrong when you don't have all the relevant information.

Ok.  Here is what currently works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/grqu75iojwwugy7/MLV%202016.alfredworkflow?dl=0

Thanks, but I can't tell you what's wrong with a workflow that works… I need the broken new version.

You probably want something that looks like this:

I did this the first time you mentioned it!  The only thing that I hadn't done was to uncheck the Escaping: fields.  It works great.  Thank you!

Glad to hear it.
