Hi all,

I want to find the repeated sentences/pharses and count their frequence in paragraphs or documents.

ex:
The paragraph:

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template. On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document.

One of the repeated sentences/pharses is "On the Insert tab".
Its frequence is 2. How to find all of them?

Do you have any idea?

Many thanks!

This is not a valid question. "Do you have any idea?" would make some sense when something is conceptually puzzling or just difficult. But here, this is nothing but some amount of work. So, what have you done so far?

I am a new member and my English is not good. If there is any misunderstand, I sorry about this. In my question, I mean that I need someone help me find a solution for my problem. Thanks again!

You English is good enough for me to understand you well. Please imagine, how this help can be done. This is only a Questions & Answers forum, so you need to ask something which can be answered in a more or less short post. It does not mean someone will do some big job for your. We share knowledge and experience, give advice, etc., but here... there are not any special "professional secrets", subliminal APIs or something very wise to share. This is just: design, prototype, write code, debug, etc. Design data structures, types responsible for parts of the task, algorithms....

Probably you should simply start solving the problem and ask more specific question when you stuck...

although it isn't really what you're probably looking for, this article may serve as a starting point:

adding another level of indirection to one of the provided solutions may be close to what you want

thank you! That article has many good ideals. I do it by my way. My problem is really the same with a normal word count problem. But there are two levels one for word and one for phrase or sentence.
