RegEx for duplicate words (I'm not familiar withRegEx)
-
Hello,
could some tell me how to find and delete duplicate words with RegEx?
I have a file with several thousand words. The words are grouped, that means the heading in one line. The following group members are indented with a tab - one indented word per line. Now I have a list of words that I want to delete from this grouped file. I copied this list into the file with the grouped words. That means, at the end of the document are several words that are not indented with a tab - one word per line.
I need to delete the duplicate words (both words). Only exacte matches need to be deleted.
I could search for each word by hand, but this would take me days. I am not familiar with regex, but I know that there should be a simple solution for this.Is there someone who could help me? Please let me know, if you need further information.

don’t copy the list of words into the document.
Copy it into the find what field like this\b(word1|word3|word5|word7|word8...)\bleave replace empty and check regular expression.
