How Do I Find Any "Insert Text" Action that Types or Pastes the Word "Muffetta"

How Do I Find All "Insert Text" Actions that Type or Paste the Word "Muffetta"

This image shows the action pasting, but I would also like to find the action if it types the word.

I can’t simply look for the word itself, it occurs too many times in my Macros.

Have you tried

You may still get some false positives -- a macro that has a variable Local_muffetta and an Action that inserts "foo", for example -- and you could tighten it up a bit more with word:muffetta at the expense of losing "muffettas" and other variants.

If that's not enough we could probably do something with AppleScript, but it could be a bit of a grind to iterate through every Action of every macro.

"insert text" word:muffetta doesn’t seem to get it……

I get results that have the ‘blue’ sections, but no sections that have the ‘blue’ with the ‘stripes’ in it that usually denotes “this is where it is”. if any of that made sense….

And the key I’m looking for only types or pastes the word Muffetta, no other word/s.

I wouldn’t mind finding it with AppleScript one time if it wasn’t a drag to make that script…..

cheers,

What you're describing makes sense, but I'm at a loss as to why. Here:

...seems to do exactly what you want -- and does it better than I thought it would.

ok, I’ll keep digging, really it’s not crucial.

I appreciate your time.

cheers

Blue sections indicate actions that contain actions that match. For example:

So the Group action, which itself does not match “muffetta” contains actions which do match.
