[Alfred 3] Write Text File – how to use it further using local option?

[mcskrzypczak]

One of new Alfred 3 elements is Write Text File. Let say I want to use it in some more complicated workflow that prints some text to the file and then is invoked in other part of the workflow. My question is, how can I refer to that file later? How to properly use Write Text File element?

 

I know there is option to give absolute file path as well as writing to workflow's folder that is synched. But I want to know, what's the best method to use such file when it is saved to workflow's data folder (not synched, local)? I know there was a script for Alfred 2 to find such folder but it was quite long. Is there any easier methods in Alfred 3 to find that data folder and saved there mentioned text file? Maybe some variable?

Yes, there are a bunch of useful bult-in variables you can use to reference those directories.
