I used a rather naive regexp to find them, so others may still be lurking. If you still feel the need to look for more, please feel free to go ahead, but please use the current documentation; it wouldn't help for you to find what I already fixed. > >Fix: > try creating a program that searches for double words in a text file. FWIW, this is what I used: grep -E '([[:space:]]+([^[:space:]]+)[[:space:]]+)\2[[:space:]]' It's got quite a few problems, but it did find quite a few. Actually, it found too much because it would match for things like "* *"; stuff like that appears quite often in the examples.
