JXA: Reading/Using Data from the Clipboard

[JMichaelTX]

@ComplexPoint

There was a slight shift in object referencing between 10.10 and 10.11

If you look at it in the 10.11 debugger, you will see that sa.theClipboard (and hence clip, the variable name bound to it) is an uncalled function.

I figured out why we are seeing different results:

• You are using var clip = sa.theClipboard,
• I am using: var clip = sa.theClipboard(),

So, you are setting the variable clip to the FUNCTION theClipboard,
whereas I am setting it to the VALUE of theClipboard

Using your script, but:
// ##CHG: Added () to theClipboard
// ##CHG: Removed () from "clip()"
