Array With Delimiter From Variable

[kcwhat]

You're welcome. Glad it worked and I'm sure there are other ways to solve it. I had a similar situation and 2 posts, from @peternlewis, helped me. I bookmarked them for future reference. Both are from the same topic/thread and I'm sure I read them 20 times. Some days I understood and some I didn't. Today, I did and tomorrow I won't.

In any event, bookmark the below:

%ICUDateTime% format from local

You can do the same thing natively in Keyboard Maestro by using the Filter Variable action to process the text tokens a second time. Note that you have to carefully double the percentage signs (%) so that only the variable is expanded in the first case. Keyboard Maestro Actions.kmactions (1.2 KB) [image]

%ICUDateTime% format from local

Its actually never “%%%” per se. You have to think through the process Keyboard Maestro will use. You double (%%) the percents you want to save. So for example the sequence of processing the string twice in a row goes from this: %%ICUDateTime%%%Variable%fmt%%% %ICUDateTime%dd/MM/yy% 19/04/16 If we code each percent as ①②③④⑤⑥ the doubling can be seen more clearly (I’d use colors, but Discourse does not support colors sensibly). ①①ICUDateTime②②③Variable④fmt⑤⑥⑥ ①ICUDateTime②dd/MM/yy⑥ 1…

Take care,
