Finding repeating words in a string by Regular Expression

[bagelman]

Hi,

I want to find repeating words in a long string with Regular Expressions. I tried to write a regular expression but it didn't work.

"\b(?<word>\w+)\s+(\k<word>)\b"

This RegEx finds repeating words only if they are in consecutive orderçç

I need a regular expression pattern that finds repeating words even if they are not consecutive. I'm new with ASP.Net.

Please help me..

Thanks...

Sorry,

I am using ASP.NET with C#.

This should work:

Match result2 = Regex.Match(inputText, @"(?<char>\s\w+)\k<char>\b");
