Abstract
In this chapter we will focus both on scripting clipboard operations such as copying and pasting between applications, and on manipulating data in the clipboard. As you will see, there are a few ways to get objects in and out of the clipboard, and it is used to move around objects that don’t always fit well in native AppleScript variables.
