Since my last post about generating random email addresses in TextExpander, I’ve move from using Ruby to Applescript to do so. Here is my script which essentially does the same thing.

set email to (do shell script "date +%s") set email to email & "@yopmail.com" set the clipboard to email email |
Made this short snippet to help generate random email addresses using TextExpander. Set the snippet content type to “Shell Script” and paste in the following. You’ll need Ruby installed which comes with most modern versions of OSX.
The snippet will generate a different address every minute and copy it to your local clipboard incase you want to paste it in again. It also uses YOPMail which you can check for emails too.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -U email = "#{Time.now.strftime("%m%d%H%M")}@yopmail.com" IO.popen('pbcopy', 'w') {|io| io.write(email)} print email |
Update: I have a new post on how to do the same using AppleScript.
