Hi does anyone know please, if it’s possible to find all sentences with specific words which are repeated more than once?
To say find, all sentences with ‘and’ in 3 times.
Thank you for reading this…

Can you clarify:
Do you mean, for example, “cat and
horse and
rat and
dog” or
“cat and
and
and
dog” ?
Hi BigRAl, yes the first one.
“Cat and horse and rat and dog”/ and similar
Find (and ).*?(and ).*?(and )
where and(space) is the word to be searched. Check Regular expressions.
See LibreOffice Help on Find & Replace and ICU Documentation on Regular Expressions.
Tested with LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 (x86); OS: Windows 6.1.

Wow I never thought!
You sir are a genius!
LeroyG. Thank you…
I’m not a genius, just learning.
You’re welcome!
Also can find (and ).*?\1.*?\1
, where \1
is equivalent to the content of the first parentheses, i.e., and(space).
