What about simply passing the filenames as arguments to Vim, something
like "vim clips-*" (assuming you're on *nix), then use "n" to repeat
the search (after you've defined it once) and jump where you want,
yank your text, then ":next" to the next file?

If the text you want to yank is predictible (I'd guess from the
search), you can automate the whole process with "gn" (visual mode on
the last search) and "y".

Best,
