Hi John, I think regexp is excellent, can even write some expressions (!) but this one has me foxed, however I'll free up a brain cell or three and think it through. I'll also have a dig through the doc and see if it will do what I want - I found (.*)\1 to behave slightly differently to what I expected, but that could have been me. As this is for Amateur Radio (hobby) software I'll wait until later this week, got to write some software for blind people tonight.

Which should of course have been: (\w+)(?:\s+\1)+
or "(\\w+)(?:\\s+\\1)+" if it's embedded in your program as a C string.
