How to Incorporate Alfred Variables into NSApplescript?

[mrdrennan]

Hello all-

 

I'm quite new to the var/arg step in Alfred, but what I need to accomplish is this:

 

Keyword to input first query, in this case {first name}.

Store first name value as variable.

Second input to be stored, in this case {last name}.

Store last name value as variable.

Pass Alfred variables into NSApplescript to be converted to applescript variables.  

 

I understand that you can simply use q as the variable for a single input, but how do you reference multiple Alfred-stored variables in the applescript?

 

Thank you so much.

Hi there,

 

This thread really belongs in the Workflow Help & Questions forum, which is where I'm going to move it to.

 

The answer to your question is hopefully in the [HOW TO] Workflow/environment variables stickied thread at the top of that forum.

 

If you're still not clear on something, let us know.

 

Also, I'd recommend using a Run Script Action with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (AS) rather than Run NSApplescript. The reason is that the latter runs on Alfred's main thread and thus blocks Alfred until it completes.
