search for duplicate unspecified consectutive words

[SRASLAN]

how do I search for all instances of all words that repeat consecutively either 2 or 3 times in the Bible. I started a simple construct and don't know what to put in the word selection. I am a simple user with what appears to be a not so simple question.

 

Thanks, steve

Hi, Steve. What you'll want to do is leave the WORD item empty when choosing a specific word, then put a '*' in there, to represent any word. You can then duplicate that item using Option-drag, or just making it again from the palette. Then, use the AGREE item to ensure that these 'any word' elements agree as the same word. Finally, add a 'WITHIN' to ensure they are following each other consecutively.

 

Here's an english example, but the principle applies generally:

I take a screenshot with Shift-Command-4, then selecting the window. You'll get a file on your desktop "Screen shot _____", with the date. To attach it to a reply, hit 'More Reply Options', then select the file in Attach File, and finally hit 'Add To Post'.

I think I have it mostly, showing two consecutive words but including things like:

 

Noah. Noah

 

of which I commanded you,

‘You shall not eat of it,’

 

I want just those items that have a simple comma between them.
