How to find duplicated text in NP++

[Pie Crust]

I'm sure that I have a piece of text duplicated but everything I found in Google is to remove duplicated text. I want to FIND that text to make sure it's what I need to remove. I'm not going to reread it a billion times to find a small sentence duplicated.

Reread the OP. I don't know what is duplicated but I am 100% sure something is duplicated.

How do you know its duplicated?
Also only thing you can do is search for each line individually. If a line shows up twice then there y'go.

well there's no way you can deal with that in notepad++
I'm not even sure if there is a way to do it at all, with any program. that's a ridiculously unusual problem

How do you know its duplicated?

Because I made a tool to quickly code complex bricks and I accidentally clicked twice on the same brick. I'm sure of it.

"I clicked on something twice, it must be copied!"
You'll just have to do what I told you to do, no other thing you can do.

I'm pretty sure this is possible because there's a way to remove duplicated text (which you have no idea which is duplciated, like here) in NP++. I've used it quite a few times but the problem is just that. I don't want it to delete the duplicated text.

"I clicked on something twice, it must be copied!"

It did copy. Another lead of a duplication:

Code: [Select]

complexBuild[64, 2] = brick1x2crestLowEndData 0.5 0.25 1.1 45 0 1 0 0 0 ;
complexBuild[65, 3] = brick1x1fData -1.5 0.5 0.3 50 0 1 0 0 0 ;64, 2 shouldn't be there. It should be 64, 3 meaning that the count is offset by one.
I really need to add duplication-checking to the tool.

uhh, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. how do you use it?

You type \b(\w+)(?:\s+\1\b)+ in the Find field. It will delete any duplicated text.

I need the same thing but without deleting the text. Just focus my screen on it.

[Ipquarx]

Just use the find tab instead of the replace tab, and it won't delete anything.

You keep missing the point! I have no idea what is duplicated!

You're not listening to me here. Enter \b(\w+)(?:\s+\1\b)+ in the find field in the find tab. ctrl+f. Select the regex box below it. It will have the same function as before, except it won't delete anything, just like you asked in your other post.
