ClipEdit modifies the clipboard. The type of edit is determined by parameters. All edits are global (for the entire clipboard). You need to check the log panel or paste the clipboard somewhere to see the results.
Parameters
ClipEdit ALIAS
Replaces all paths with Opus' aliases, both built-in and user-defined.
This is the clipboard before...
First path C:\Users\Alexander\AppData\Roaming\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\Script AddIns\CommandClipEdit.js and
now the second C:\Users\Alexander\bin\exiftool\exiftool.exe and the third C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Yeah!
... and after applying the command:
First path /scripts\CommandClipEdit.js and
now the second /bin\exiftool\exiftool.exe and the third /programfiles\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Yeah!
ClipEdit ALIASEXPAND
Converts all aliases to the underlying filesystem notation.
ClipEdit ENVVAR
Replaces all paths with Windows' environment variables.
Turns
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
into
%programfiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
ClipEdit ENVVAREXPAND
Converts all environment variables to the underlying filesystem notation.
ClipEdit GENERIC
Converts curly quotation marks into straight single or double quotes. Serves mostly as encouragement for you to create your own replacement commands with JScript.
ClipEdit ISODATE
Converts date strings from D.M.YYYY into YYYY-MM-DD. Again, more of a demo and encouragement 
NOLOG
Append to suppress logging in the log panel.
How to set up and use
