Does Alfred 3 Powerpak do Macros and If So How


Recommended Posts

I want Alfred to record a series of keystrokes and mouse movements and replay them when a key is pressed. Basically I am sending messages in LinkedIn. Ideally every time I run the macro I'd like to incement the number value in the clipboard by 1. Can this be done and if so where can I learn how.

What you can do is, that you create a script with Automator and let Alfred run this through a keyword or so.

You can read out your clipboard via this applescript:

set the_text to the clipboard
return the_text

Then use the this python script to increment every integer in your string:

import re
print re.sub('\d+',lambda x:`int(x.group())+1`,query)

I've put an example workflow here together: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d7ld56vxb4nfjcf/Example%20String%20Int%20increase%20by%201.alfredworkflow?dl=0

 

Copy this string: "test 1 and 2 and 3" and run the workflow via "inctest" and it will give you this notification "test 2 and 3 and 4"

 

For the rest i or other would have to know, or you now know enough :)

 

Hope that helps ^^
