Accessing the clipboard with wscript

MSHTML allows to access clipboard the clipboard.
The following code snippet tries to demonstrate how this might be done in VBScript: 
dim html
set html=createObject("htmlfile")

'
' Read clipboard data into variable:
'
clipboardText=html.parentWindow.clipboardData.getData("text")

wScript.echo(clipboardText)

'
' Write a text into the clipboard:
'
html.parentWindow.clipboardData.setData "text", "hello world"

' set html = nothing
