I want my script to catch and delete lines/paragraphs that identical and follow each other. Example:

Quote:

PHEVs are similar to current hybrid electric vehicles but have larger batteries that can be charged from the electric grid. More and more consumers are buying HEVs – sales in the US have grown by 80% per year since 2000. The same trend might be expected for PHEVs in the future. What's more, car manufacturing firms such as Toyota and Ford are now offering to convert HEVs into PHEVs and plan to sell retrofit kits to help consumers "upgrade".

By using grid electricity, PHEVs could reduce a driver's fuel costs by hundreds of dollars per year. However, car battery costs need to decrease by at least 50% from current levels to make PHEVs economical for most consumers, says team member Alex Farrell. At present, near-term costs for PHEVs appear to be too high to justify the savings that come from buying electricity, which is cheaper than gasoline. But economic calculations are only part of the reason consumers buy cars, Farrell adds, so some people would probably buy PHEVs even at current costs.
Another important result from the team's work is that the time when PHEVs are charged needs to be properly managed. There is sufficient electricity capacity to charge several million PHEVs in California without expanding the electricity grid in the state. But adding even one single PHEV to the grid at peak hours (2.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m.) will create demand for new electricity infrastructure, explains Farrell.

"These results are important because PHEVs offer consumers a whole new choice, and a way to advance key social goals – including reducing consumption of petroleum and lowering greenhouse gas emissions," he told environmentalresearchweb.

Those lines always start from new line and follow each other.
I can fix above text with something like

Code:

clipboard:=RegExReplace(clipboard, "Plug-in hybrid\R", "")
clipboard:=RegExReplace(clipboard, "Charging up\R", "")

but real problem is that text in redundant lines always different Confused

And it could be way more then two words - but it always new lines following each other.

PS. This happens all the time when I copying text from Wikipedia or blog articles into clipboard using Firefox - any image descriptions create two new identical lines, and I don't want image descriptions in a clipboard.

Code:

~^c::
sleep 2000 ; 'clipwait' may not be ideal in this case
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `r`n, `n, all
Sto := ErrorLevel
Loop, Parse, Clipboard, `n
{
If ( aline == A_LoopField )
   Loop 2
      StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `n%aline%`n, `n
If A_LoopField
   aline := A_LoopField
}
If !Sto
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `n, `r`n, all
return

Try that, it fires when you use [ctrl][c] to copy text.
