Hi Macropod,


I tried that, I don't know why, but it found no matches, even though the duplicates were all adjacent, and very visible to me...


Guessed:


This works great, except that it deletes all occurances of a paragraph, rather than just the adjacent ones. If the same paragraph is repeated further down the original srt file, it deletes that too, so the resuklting script doesn't make sense. Is there a way to limit it to onlt looking 2 paragraphs ahead, rather than trying to look for the target paragraph in the rest of the document?


I can't find a button to press to attach the txt file I've uploaded which I was working on



Thanks for the help, was floundering before.

Did you check the 'use wildcards' option?
