Hi List,

How can I make this work?:

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down --copy
get the clipboard
set _selection to result as text --> I am 12

if word 1 of _selection is "I" and word 3 of _selection contains (number) then

say "contains a number" using "Bruce"
else
say "contains no numbers" using "Victoria"
end if

Thanks for your help,
-Daniel
