Script that places a copied word into a list and then blocks it from being copied again

[ranova]

Hello,

Trying to figure out if AHK is the right solution for what Im looking for:

A script that once a word or phrase is copied, the script puts it in a database or list. Then if that same phrase or word is attempted to be copied again, the script would not copy the word or phrase

Thank you!

Do you mean that the clipboard would be blocked, or that its contents would not be duplicated in your list?

yep, everything that was put into this list would be blocked if I tried to copy it into the clipboard in the future

I was asking for clarification. Do you mean (A) that the clipboard would be blocked, or (B) that the clipboard contents would not be duplicated in your list? Your answer was "Yes", but I'm asking which of these would be the case.

Apologies - I did mean (A)

OK. Clearing the clipboard is easy, but I do not know a way to block the Windows clipboard entirely from populating. Others here on the forum may know.
