Highlighting duplicate string on a line

Hi all

I have a grep written to pull out values; below (in the code snip-it) is an example of the output.
What I'm struggling to do, and looking for assistance on, is identifying the lines that have duplicate strings.
For example 74859915K74859915K in the below is 74859915K repeated twice but 32575310100014 is not a whole repeating value so I don't want to see it.

In my head (and what I'm unable to do) I want to do something like count it's length, split it in half and confirm the first half matches the second half... I'm open to suggestions as there may be a better way to do it.

Background - these values are in multiple files within an xml tag <foo></foo>. My grep is extracting them and removing the xml tags with sed leaving just the below output... it's the next step where I want to only have the true dupes.

Many thanks in advance.

Post the original xml file as it may be easier to extract dupes out of it instead of parsing it first with grep and sed...since an xml file delimited with tags like <foo> maybe easier to parse for dupes...
