If you'd want to remove all duplicated words, then it wasn't that difficult. You could do something like this & this. I suggest you use specific regular expressions in Notepad++ (I can help you, just tell me all the formats of the duplicated words) or consider a different approach to your problem. | |

The problem is that the regular expression I wrote in my answer only applies to the format (I thought) you asked for: word, word, anotherword. However, you have many instances which are a little bit different, like came across, came across and some with 3 or 4 words. Also there are words with ' like don't and it makes things more complicated in the Notepad++ regex system. The Notepad++ regex system is pretty annoying and limited as well, so the solution is to either use regex in python (or another language), or make format-specific regular expressions for the Notepad++.

This regex should work: (\b\w+\b)\W+\1 for two duplicated words. I'll edit my answer. The commas are why the other regex doesn't work.
