pipe(pbpaste) connection, but I'm finding it misses the last line. (I
believe the last line in my examples generally doesn't include any EOL
marker.) For example, if I highlight these three lines:
line 1
line 2
line 3
and copy

or the following should also work on each OSX
readLines(pipe(pbpaste|awk
