Here is another clipboard transform that I use. It splits the clipboard text in half and adds the second half to the end of the first half line-by-line, so this:

 a
 b
 c
 d
 e
 f

becodes this:

 a d
 b e
 c f

I call it "clipjoin.cmd" and bind it to Ctrl-Shift-J.

@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
perl -x -S "%~dpnx0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
#line 8
use strict;0
use warnings;
use Win32::Clipboard;
my $CLIP = Win32::Clipboard();
my $text = $CLIP->GetText;
my @text = split /\r\n/,$text;
my $lines = scalar @text;
my $halflines = $lines/2;
for (my $i=0; $i<$lines/2; ++$i) {
  $text[$i] .= $text[$i+$halflines];
}
@text = @text[0...$halflines-1];
$text = join "\r\n", @text;
$text .= "\r\n";
$CLIP->Set($text);
__END__
