Split - String into Variables (\n) Macro (v10.2)
OK Thanks for all your help. Here is what I ended up with.
Take a look and make any suggestions to make it simpler, quicker, better? I just needed a utility that would take a varying number of lines and split them.
Rather than separate variables, you could also use Keyboard Maestro Variable Array indexes.
See the section in manual:Variables [Keyboard Maestro Wiki] on custom delimiters.
I think @peternlewis may be planning to support the newline character \n directly as a custom delimiter, but in the meanwhile you can replace all \n with a character (or string of characters) which are not present in the text itself.
That's a much better solution thanks a lot.
I guess I need to read the manual more but sometimes I don't even know what the right question is.
Again Thanks
Roger
KM is a large and rich resource – asking here is probably the most efficient route to a solution for any given input -> output problem that arises.
This is precisely why it's best to provide an overview of what you're trying to accomplish when asking for help.
Frequently people focus too much on the minutiae of a problem, and there are better methods available to complete the overall task.
So...
What you learn fades if you don't use it often, and keeping good memory aids around saves a lot of repeated work.
Often (understandably, but it costs time) on the minutiae of a failing "solution", with which they are too preoccupied to offer examples of:
