I designed this as a logger that could stack hundreds of clipboard messages. And also, it's very convenient to work while referring log. If you log anything you want to see beforehand, the “👁 View log” flow works like a temporary screenshot. In contrast to screenshot images, you can also copy a selected text of your log, and paste it into other apps.
With the “share” logger flow, usually by a “Share” button/menu on any apps, then choose “Automate flow,” and “📋 Simple Clipboard Logger.” Your selected text will be appended to the log.
The conventional logger flow for Android 9 or earlier, is easier. The block #2 waits and gets a clipboard message from your “cut” or “copy” operation on another apps. And block #3 adds an incoming message to the log file, and returns to block #2 to wait for a new message.
Known problem:
* Each entry can be up to 2403 characters length. It seems that the specification of “Log append” (Blocks #3~9) is like that. Excess characters are truncated.

* Limit history displayed to 65535 characters or 1535 entries to avoid AUTOMATE instability. (In attempting to display more entries, the dialog block #11 make AUTOMATE unstable. It looks like AUTOMATE is looping retries because the Android System WebView doesn't pass the error when the it goes down).
* Removed two hidden flows to tests.

* Specification change: Wrap long lines.
* Specification change: The search text input box size is now variable.
* New supplemental flow named “🗜 Shrink the log" has been added. Try this one to shrink the log file by removing irrelevances as the clipboard. This flow also remove duplicated entries.

* Renamed slightly
* Two kinds of dialog boxes in the “👁 View log and 🔍 regex search” flow have been merged into one block (into the block #11)
* Added a “share” interface flow for Android 10 or later. It also works on earlier devices
* Removed blocks to start the conventional logger from the “📋 Quick Setting Tile”
* Bug fix: Logged multiline error messages caused the viewer to misunderstand the log data. While fixing this, sed scripts (were as a log parser in a shell command block) have been replaced with the file read block #12, and the replaceAll function calls and the split function call in the block #13. As it's second order effect, “🔍 regex search” syntax is now in Java style, was ERE
* Bug fix: Because parallel launches were not allowed for the “👁 View log and 🔍 regex search” flow, sometimes 📋 Quick Setting tile was removed unexpectedly. The flow beginning block #10 allow parallel launches now, and the flow start block has been replaced a fork block
* Bug fix: The parser misunderstood a line separator given by a log append block as a part of a clipboard message. Fixed the log parser at the block #13
