Never mind the zero-padding of file names, if that's going to cause a hold-up. One can use other programs to rename the files after they are created.
I've searched the Internet. While there are tons of clipboard programs, none offers the simple solution I am seeking -- to easily have Ctrl-C output go directly to a series of text files, one after the other. No fuss no muss.
Go figure.
Anyone have a possible reason why such doesn't presently exist??

Can ListNumberer work from the command line?
Would be nice to set it up in a process chain so that, say, 'zero-padding' a folder of files (with titles numbered 1.txt through 1000.txt) is a single 'double-click' operation.

Thanks mouser. I'll give it a go.
Additionally I'm wondering about the 'macro' program I'm using. Maybe I can have it set up in a dynamic way so that it waits until all current copy action is completed before moving on to the next copy action step.
Presently I'm using static time delays -- i.e., 2,4,8 seconds.

After further experimentation...
The longer I pause between subsequent copy actions, the less data that ends up missing.
I'm using a macro program for all of this, by the way.
So..., for example:
Setting pause between copy actions to 2 seconds ---> 32 blocks make it Setting pause between copy actions to 4 seconds ---> 53 blocks make it Setting pause between copy actions to 8 seconds ---> 89 blocks make it
I know for a fact that the total number of blocks wanted copied should be 150. Blocks are definitely being dropped.
So..., there appears to be a 'bottleneck' in the copy process. And not all the data is making it through, before the next copy action is undertaken.
Now, the big ClipTrap question is: Can ClipTrap 'know' if all of the data needing to be copied actually gets copied?
Is there any way for ClipTrap to somehow say "Hey there Mr. Copy Action, hold off until I get the current data set copied, please."
Any and all thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated.

The application I'm focusing on is MetaStock, a stock charting program. MetaStock has no ability to allow saving a chart data to disk. If you click on a graph line, however, you can then hit Ctrl-C, and this copies the data to the clipboard.
One can then paste into Excel, for example.
The data being copied would be a time-series of numbers, say Date, Price, Volume, etc. And extend over time, daily, from the present going back perhaps ten years. That's a whopper of data.
And I'm copying many such charts at once, having everything go to ClipTrap. Then having your ChoppingList divide it all up (by way of delimiter XXXXX).

Enhancement Request:
When creating the text files from a block of copied text (say from your ClipTrap) please give the option of including x number of padded zeros in front of numbers.

I'm struggling with the MiniCap command-line code to get the following result:
C:\Screen Captures\2011-08-29 18_31_16.png . . . etc.
Below is the code that seemed most plausible. But something is definitely wrong. Please suggest the proper formulation. If you don't mind, please try it out first to make sure it really in fact works:
