I can't seem to find a way to move text from scrap (clipboard) to a variable. Nothing found via shuck or any other place I looked. I would like to create a simple droplett that would, when activated, grab the text on the clipboard and append it to a pre existing file. A few of these would make it much easier to collect snippits of information without always having to open a file with an editor just to paste something into it.
