Your right. Something about the rawClipboardData fails with an error.
Trying the fullClipboardData (code below) works. My guess is that there
may be something about the first key (on my Windows system that is
"text/html" where the slash is causing an error? I'd need to look at it
further - perhaps skip that key and try others. This may be a bug that
may be worth reporting in the LC Quality center. You might get what you
want from the fullClipboardData (below)
on mouseUp pMouseButton
local n=1
lock clipboard
--
put the keys of the fullClipboardData into myK3 ## THIS WORKS
--
repeat for each line k in myK3
try
put the fullClipboardData[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
end mouseUp

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

Since my method didn't work, I'd try Marks, namely to put the keys of
the clipboard array into a variable to look at
on mouseUp
? lock clipboard
? put the keys of the clipboarddata into tKeys1
? put the keys of the fullclipboarddata into tKeys2
? put the keys of the rawclipboarddata into tkeys3
? breakpoint
? unlock clipboard
end mouseUp
I tested this in LC 10dp6 and it works. Once you see what keys are
present with your mixed text and images copied to the clipboard, you can
choose which clipboard array and keys to work with to get the data.

Many thanks to Paul Dupuis and Mark Waddingham. The script below tries to
test their suggestions. Using 10.0.0 dp5 on an Intel Mac, and watching
execution after the breakpoint, I get errors at each "try" in the script.
So it does not seem that I can write the fullClipboardData
or rawClipboardData to an array variable; and it does not seem that I can
access any element of the rawClipboardData array. Further advice is
welcome.
Best wishes,
