Dear all, I am looking to detect palindromes (sentence or number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction) and repeats (sequences of letters or numbers
which are repeating atleast twice within a string) in some strings containing between 20-5000 letters. Has somebody any idea how could I perform that using an Excel macro? I would like that the string to be evaluated could be on cell "A1" and that the detected palindromes and repeats could be listed bellow A2 and C2, respectively; and that the number of times that they appear in the sentence could be listed bellow cells B2 and D2, respectively, as the following small example: QGAGGAAGGAGQ Palindromes Number Repeats Number QGAGGAAGGAGQ 1 GA 3 GAG 2 AG 3 GG 2 GAG 2 AA 1 AA 1 GG 2 Somebody could help me?
