| - | The //%MacroNameForUUID%**uuid**%// token returns the name of the macro or macro group with the specified **UUID**. If the macro does not exist, then this will return the empty string so you can use it as a simple test for the existence of a particular macro. | + | ====== MacroNameForUUID Token ====== |
| + | This [[:Tokens|token]] returns the name of the macro or macro group with the specified **UUID**. If the macro does not exist, then this will return "Not Found" so you can use it as a simple test for the existence of a particular macro. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== How To Use ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== General Form ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **The general form of this token is**:\\ | ||
| + | `%MacroNameForUUID%<UUID>%`\\ | ||
| + | where `<UUID>` is the explicit Macro Universal ID, like "4ADD4CEB-D07C-4095-B06B-D01C48E3D82C" | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can put this token in any [[:Actions|Action]] that has a text field, like a [[action:Display_Text|Display Text Action]] or a [[action:Set_Variable_to_Text|Set Variable To Text Action]], like this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:token:km-7.2-macronameforuuid-action.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Using with a Variable ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **However, if you want to use the UUID that is in a Keyboard Maestro Variable**, then it will require two Actions, because this token does not directly support the use of Variables: | ||
| + | - Set a Variable to the MacroNameForUUID token with a Variable token for the UUID, as text, so that the MacroNameForUUID token is not evaluated, but the Variable token is evaluated | ||
| + | * For example:\\ `%%MacroNameForUUID%%%Variable%myUUID%%%` | ||
| + | * When the Action is executed, the Variable will be:\\ `%MacroNameForUUID%4ADD4CEB-D07C-4095-B06B-D01C48E3D82C%` | ||
| + | - Filter that Variable to process the token, now that the Variable has been evaluated. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:token:km-7.2-macronameforuuid-with-var.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | The result of these Actions is: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:token:km-7.2-macronameforuuid-results.png?nolink|}} | ||
| + | |||
