Hello,

do you know about any tool which makes it possible to count the number of identical segments in a document? I have this +40000 entry text with a lot of repetitions and need to calculate the actual (not total) number of entries. Thank you in advance!

Rafał

Run an analysis with Trados Workbench or Wordfast and it will show the percentage of repetitions. But do you need to know how many times a specific segment is repeated? That would be difficult.

Wordfast? May 7, 2009

Hi Rafał,

A Wordfast analyses reports e.g. this for each document and all documents.

Excel would work too May 7, 2009

If you need to calculate unique segments, you can paste the content into Excel.

In Word, replace all full stops with ".^p", all colons with ":^p" and all tabs (^t) with just the paragraph symbol (^p). Remove all empty paragraphs, and paste everything into Excel. This should give you all segments in separate rows. Now go to Data - Filter - Advanced filter, and check the Only unique records checkbox.

You can paste that back into Word and get the unique wordcount.

Thank you all for your replies. Yes, I needed to calculate the exact number of unique segments. Adam, your way does the trick most of the time. Thanks!
