Paul, getting the keys of the rawClipboardData worked for me too. What didn’t
work was trying to read the values. See this part of my script, I hope shown
this time without the asterisks gMail added before:
lock clipboard
…
put the keys of the rawClipboardData into myK3 ## THIS WORKS
…
repeat for each line k in myK3
try
put the rawClipboardData[k] into temp[n] ## DOESN’T WORK
catch myError
put myError into e4[n] ## ERROR IS TRIGGERED
end try
add 1 to n
end repeat
unlock clipboard
