| + | |||
| + | Keyboard Maestro sets the environment variables for the script to include all your variables, using a prefix of `KMVAR_` and your variable name with spaces changed in to underscores (‗). For example, your Keyboard Maestro “File Name” variable will be available as the environment variable `KMVAR_File_Name`. | ||
| + | |||
| + | By default, all variables are included, but you can select No Variables, or specific variables as desired using the popup menu next to the script (v11.0+). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Swift scripts can get (but not set) Keyboard Maestro Variables by using environment variables, for example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Swift 2 (Xcode 7 and 8)** | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code swift> | ||
| + | import Foundation | ||
| + | print(NSProcessInfo.processInfo().environment["KMVAR_Variable_Name"]!) | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Swift 3 (Xcode 8)** | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code swift> | ||
| + | import Foundation | ||
| + | print(ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["KMVAR_Variable_Name"]!) | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Swift scripts can get or set Keyboard Maestro Variables by using AppleScript, for example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code swift> | ||
| + | import Foundation | ||
| + | |||
| + | let myString = "the Value" | ||
| + | NSAppleScript(source: "tell application \"Keyboard Maestro Engine\" to setvariable \"fromSwift\" to \"\(myString)\"")?.executeAndReturnError(nil) | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that if the value might contain backslashes or quotes, you will need to deal with quoting them, replacing every backslash with backslash-backslash, and every double quote with backslash-double quote. | ||
