vim | delete consecutive occurrences of a pattern

[Nikolaos A. Patsopoulos]

Hi,

I have a text that has many occurrences of a pattern . I want to delete 
every consecutive occurrence, e.g.

Pattern Pattern other text Pattern Pattern Pattern Pattern other text 
Pattern Pattern Pattern
should look like this:
Pattern other text Pattern other text Pattern

I've used:

:%s/\(Pattern\s\+\)\(Pattern\)/\1/g

but have to run this more than once with: %&g to result the wanted text.

Can I do this with one command only? If not can I write a while function?:

while patternDoNotMatch
   %s/\(Pattern\)\(Pattern\)/\1/g
endwhile

Thanks in advance,

Nikos
