I have the following text:



text = "hello","hello","hello","c","a","e","e","hello","hello"


Now I would like to do the following:



Delete every string that is "hello" and repeats itself consecutively.



Result:



text = "hello","c","a","e","e","hello"

          For version 11.3:



          SequenceReplace[text, "hello" .. -> "hello"]


          One approach for the versions older than 11.3:



          Split[text] /. "hello" .. -> "hello" // Flatten
