    There is a short of a function in the standard Postgres to do the

    It is easy to count the number of occurrence of words, but it is
    rather difficult to count the number of occurrence of phrases.

    For instance:

    A cell of value:  'Hello World' means 1 occurrence a phrase.

    A cell of value: 'Hello World World Hello' means no occurrence of
    any repeated phrase.

    But, A cell of value: 'Hello World World Hello Hello World' means
    2 occurrences of 'Hello World'.

    'The City of London, London' also has no occurrences of any
    repeated phrase.

    Anyone has got such a function to check out the number of
    occurrence of any repeated phrases?

Hi, All Friends,

Whatever.   Can we try to build a regex for   'The City of London London Great London UK ' ?

It could be something like '[\w\s]+[\s-]+[a-z]+[\s-][\s\w]+'.  [\s-]+[a-z]+[\s-] is catered for some people think that 'City of London' is 'City-of-London' or 'City-of-London'.

Regards,

David
Do you really want "The City of", by itself, to be one of the detected phrases?  eg 'The City of London London Great London UK The City of Liverpool'.
