Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Shell script to find longest phrase Post 302290634 by stargazerr on Monday 23rd of February 2009 10:24:29 PM

The text file is nothing but a news article after parsing HTML tags and extracting the content using XML. I use the following to extract and print the most bigrams for now.

tr -sc 'a-zA-z0-9.' '\012' < $1 > bigrams1
tail -n+2 bigrams1 > bigrams2
paste bigrams1 bigrams2

Here $1 is the name of the file containing the actual text. I am passing this as an argument for now.

Thing is, detecting bigrams and trigrams is easy. Is there a way to detect the longest phrase that appears at least twice ? It could be a bigram, a trigram or n-gram.

Thanks. Smilie
