Ubuntu – How to copy the whole history of the clipboard to a text file

clipboardtext;

I would like to paste my whole clipboard history consisting of words copied (Ctrl+C/by selection) during my reading sessions. I installed programs like Glippy and ClipIt but I couldn't figure out how to paste all the words, if ever exists such an option in these programs, I copy to a simple text file at once, not one word at a time. Can someone help me out?

Thank you!

You can see some strings in clipit history file with this command:

strings ~/.local/share/clipit/history

But it's not the best way. The output may be garbled.
