Hey Shane,

That works nicely for «class html». :)

But getting similar text for Safari's «class weba» doesn't:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Prerequisite → Safari content copied to the clipboard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

use framework "Foundation"

use framework "AppKit" -- for pasteboard

-- Get the Clipboard

set pb to current application's NSPasteboard's generalPasteboard()

-- Try to read Safari Clipboard as html.

# Fails (of course)

set theHtmlText to (pb's stringForType:"public.html") as text

--> "missing value"

-- Try to read Safari Clipboard as as webarchive.

# Fails

set theWebaText to (pb's stringForType:"com.apple.webarchive") as text

--> "missing value"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a slick way around this?

Take Care,

Chris
