Thanks Bear ... the solution i found for the above problem I am putting below

    
function removeselected(){
            
         textarea = document.getElementById('myarea');    
          if (document.selection)    
          { 
          
          textarea.focus();       
          sel = document.selection.createRange();   
         var  string = document.getElementById('myarea').value;
         string = string.replace(sel.text," ");
         string =string.replace(/^(.*)[\r\n]+\1/gm,"$1");
         
         document.getElementById('myarea').value =string;
