All of us probably have a workflow we repeat all the time:

Copy something
Paste it into a temporary area
Modify/transform/alter the text
Copy
Paste into the final destination

Being able to transform/alter the clipboard on paste would be wicked helpful. For example:

Trim spaces
Remove all letters and only leave numbers
Extract only the email addresses (using regular expression) and comma separate
Extract a URL or some other string using regular expression
Add text -- copy Hello and paste <b>Hello</b>
...the possibilities are endless.

Can Clipy do this? If not, any thoughts on adding it as a feature?
