It worked after I changed the target path from a regex to a simple wildcard. It did not work when I first copy/pasted your line.

wxpaste

wxpaste(1x)															       wxpaste(1x)

NAME

       wxpaste - output a cutbuffer to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       wxpaste [options]

DESCRIPTION

       wxpaste outputs the contents of the specified cutbuffer to stdout. If no cutbuffer is specified, the cutbuffer 0 will be used as default.

OPTIONS

       -cutbuffer number
	      The data will be pasted from the specified cutbuffer, instead of the default 0.

       -display display-name
	      Specifies the display where wxpaste should look for the data to be pasted.

       -selection [selection-name]
	      The data will be copied from the named selection. If cutting from the selection fails, the cutbuffer will be used. The default value
	      for the selection name is PRIMARY.

BUGS

       The -selection option must be the last one. The syntax could be
	      cleaned, but backwards compatibility prevents that...

	      INCR and MULTIPLE selection types are not handled. Actually, only simple text selections are handled, wich should be enough for most
	      uses of a utility such as this.
