I've now spent over 4 hours trying to figure this out, and I cannot
I am copying two values from a webpage (they change every week); I need to strip these values from unnecessary characters and then sum and copy them to a spreadsheet.
Example of the values copied from the webpage
The output should be without the dot and the € sign. Expected output 7844,24.
The transformation of the output seems to screw up what I am trying to do.
I am pretty sure this is such a simple thing, I am just missing some basic knowledge that I cannot figure out myself.
Macros are always disabled when imported into the Keyboard Maestro Editor.
The user must ensure the macro is enabled.
The user must also ensure the macro's parent macro-group is enabled.
System Information
macOS 10.14.6
Keyboard Maestro v10.2
Points to note:
I've hard-coded the two values in the red-coloured actions. You might want to replace these with the appropriate actions for your use-case.
The macro could be shortened considerably by using a subroutine in place of the groups called "Convert Value1" and "Convert Value 2". (Ignore this comment if you don't understand what a subroutine is/does.)
The result is displayed in a window (orange action at the end). Obviously change that to make use of the result in whatever way you wish.
All I was missing was that conversion of the comma to the dot.
For my full understanding, just to ensure I get this right in the future, we are converting the comma to a dot, so that Keyboard Maestro can recognize the value correctly and execute the calculation right? The dot is the universal decimal indicator, not the comma and with a comma we would have no results.
