[Solved] Find duplicate word pattern α β α β

[Antaios]

Hi. Is there a way to find duplicate couples of words in OpenOffice Writer? For example: «In the beginning God created God created the heavens and the earth».

Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

This regular expression works in the case of your example.

Code: Select all

\b(\w+) (\w+)\s+\1 \2\b

Use it as the search term in Find & Replace and make sure regular expressions are selected under More Options.
I'm not sure it will work in every possible case.

Works great. Thanks a lot.
