You need to add some code in your program to read the data out of the clipboard and add it to the snippet at the appropriate place.

well if that case i don't need snippets to insert clipboard and text just can use autohotkey insert from there, but what searching for is way of defining snippet that automatically get clipboard from it sell not something that insert clipboard in it...

I'm sorry but I cannot understand what you are saying here. You need to try and explain what problem you are trying to solve. Is this some program you are writing or some third party program that you are trying to implement or modify?
