Clipboard viewer for OS X that allows extracting the data in any available format

Question

I am looking for a clipboard viewer for OS X which will show all formats that the clipboard is holding the data in. (I.e. something similar to the Clipbook viewer in Windows XP.)

I found a number of programs that show the contents of the clipboard, but I haven't been able to find one which lists all formats available on the clipboard at the moment, and makes it possible to extract either of them. I believe the OS X clipboard can hold the data in multiple formats simultaneously, just like Windows (e.g. in MS Word there's a Paste special... menu item which allows selecting the format to paste).

Answer 1

You can see the different types by running the clipboard as record in AppleScript Editor.

the clipboard, the clipboard as text, or Unicode text of (the clipboard as record) will return a plain text version. AppleScript still converts line endings to CR though.
