Dear colleagues,

Now I'm struggling with a problem to mark all the repetitions within 50 words...
First I thought about CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary"), but not sure how to handle it better.

The idea is simple: Prepare a 50-word FiFO (first-in, first-out) 'buffer' list as a string with space delimiters and check every next word, marking any repetitions and updating the list--deleting the first word and adding the new word--till the end.

Dear colleagues,

Now I'm struggling with a problem to mark all the repetitions within 50 words...
First I thought about CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary"), but not sure how to handle it better.

The idea is simple: Prepare a 50-word FiFO (first-in, first-out) 'buffer' list as a string with space delimiters and check every next word, marking any repetitions and updating the list--deleting the first word and adding the new word--till the end.

I'm not a big coder, yet here is a quick'n'dirty draft
Code:
For i=1 to ThisDocument.Words.Count 'main loop
Set S=ThisDocument.Words(i) 'reference to the i-th word
W=Ucase(Trim(S)) 'no spaces and not case sensitive
'---------------------
If Left(W,1)=Letter Then 'IsAlpha only
If i>50 Then 'after the initial 50-word list is ready
q=InStr(1,W,T) 'is there a substring W in T?
if q>0 then S.Font.Color=some_color 'mark the repetition
q=InStr(1," ",T) 'find the first space delimiter
T=Mid(T,q+1) 'delete the first word plus space
End IF 'i>50
'---------------------
T=T+W+" " 'add new word to the list
End If 'Left(W,1)=Letter
Next

However, something went wrong, in the very concept, perhaps)
How would you solve such a task? Also I'm not sure about CleanString, AscW and such for ANSI/Unicode, any ideas?

TY

Knowing several languages does interfere, even when it's just programming, especially when tired)
Code:
Sub Repetitions()
Const SPAN = 49 'range
N = ThisDocument.Words.Count: If N < 50 Then Exit Sub 'exit if nothing to do
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0 'to speed a little up
repetition = 0
Dim list As String

End If 'i>49

Application.StatusBar = N - i 'countdown

MsgBox repetition, , "Repetitions"
