Need help Pass Clipboard content to a variable

[YOZ]

1. goal take what's currently in the clipboard and append it with today's date.
2. Then go and save the file I have open in excel as a .txt
3 My original macro works fine 'N.N0N3N0N3N1N0N.chg manual way to do it.
4. I want to take it to the next level now.
5. I'm testing to see if I have it right by activating notepad and pasting there, the problem is it puts note pad into what i paste too.
6.myfilename is what i start out with in the clipboard to add to s1 getclip.

resuslt i get:
myfilename
.030510Notepad

result i want :
myfilename030510

str s1.getclip
str today.time(".%m%d%y%")
str s2.from(s1 today.time(".%m%d%y%"))
s2.setclip
act "Notepad"
