Re: Re: Duplicate Words

Hmm,
What about:

s/(\b\w+?\b)\s+\1/$1/g;
[download]

This will match "This is a sentence sentence." as well as "This is a sentence sentence to.".

If you want to remove dup words from anywhere in the string rather than just consecutive duplicates, try: `s/\w+\s/$words{$&}++?'':$&/ge;` [download] or to ignore case: `s/\w+\s/$words{"\L$&"}++?'':$&/ge;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
