I did see this but with my limited knowledge was unable to decipher.

EDIT: It seems that piping the results to pbcopy, while working in terminal, was an issue when called from AppleScript.

I changed the AppleScript to:

do shell script "pbpaste | gsed 's/\\x2D/\\xE2\\x96\\xB8/g'; pbcopy" 

?? The results show up inside the AppleScript Result window, but this clears the Clipboard... Does anyone know why AppleScript is clearing the clipboard when using pbcopy in a do shell script command?

The terminal command:
