ClipWait is probably the right answer. You can save & restore the previous clipboard contents as needed.

Hi @mikeyww Thank you for your further comments!

Yes, I used ClipWait after each statemtn Send ^c, but still a little worried about the result.

About "save & restore the previous clipboard contents", simply restoring the variable "clipboard" as a simple string could recover all the previous complex contents in the clipboard, such as files, imgages, rich format text...?

Instead of worrying, you can see if ClipWait works. The docs show how to restore clipboard.
