Anyway to retrieve data from clipboard or webpage cache?

I lost some very important data last night and was wondering if there's anyway to retrieve it. I had copied it from a textarea box in a webpage at one point to my clipboard. Is there anyway that I can see clipboard history or view a cache file from Safari that will have the data I had copied? I looked in the ~/Library/Caches/Safari folder but all the .cache files are a bunch of jibberish.

'Is there anyway that I can see clipboard history', no ...

... but, there are the 'Safari' 'History' menu - menu, and sub-menu, items.

'... or view a cache file from Safari that will have the data I had copied?', yes - see Retrospective and File Juicer.

Thanks. I tried Retrospective but it looks as though pages loaded under https are not cached. What a bummer.

If it was your own input in a textarea box, then it's not cached, anyway, since that wasn't text loaded from the 'net. (Unless that text would've been loaded on the next page as it is when you're posting here...)

It was actually data that was sent from the server in the textbox (a mysql dump from phpMyAdmin).
