Repeated Block Finder

Repeated Block Finder helps you review pasted text without uploading it to a server. It is built for quick, practical checks when a spreadsheet or full document-review system would slow you down. Paste a real sample, run the tool, and inspect both the readable report and the supporting counts. The result is meant to make manual review faster; it does not replace checking the source text or, for policy and contract material, getting appropriate legal advice.

How to use this text tool

  1. Paste the source text or load a plain-text file.
  2. Adjust the available option if your text uses a different pattern.
  3. Run the tool and compare the report with the source.
  4. Copy the result or export the structured data you need.

What this tool does

The Repeated Block Finder turns the supplied text into a focused report with counts that help you verify what was detected.

The page applies deterministic, browser-side parsing rules. It does not invent missing text or send content to an external model.

Treat every match as a review pointer. Context, formatting, and drafting conventions can change what a passage means.

Example

Load the sample and select Find Repeated Blocks. The output identifies the matching ranges, records, clauses, checklist topics, terms, or dates and reports how many were found.

Use cases

  • Preparing a quick review before a spreadsheet import.
  • Finding likely issues in copied records or document text.
  • Creating a compact report for a colleague to verify.
  • Checking revisions without installing specialist software.

Tips for better output

  • Keep meaningful line breaks and headings.
  • Correct obvious OCR errors first.
  • Test a small representative sample before a large file.
  • Compare every reported item with its original context.
  • Save the source separately from the generated report.

Processing details

All parsing happens locally in the current browser tab. Matching is deterministic, so the same text and settings produce the same report. CSV fields are quoted when exported, and JSON is generated with standard browser serialization.

This tool recognizes common text patterns, not every drafting or data convention. It cannot determine legal sufficiency, intent, enforceability, or facts omitted from the source.

Frequently asked questions

What input works best in the Repeated Block Finder?

Plain text works best. Preserve line breaks and headings when they carry meaning because the tool uses that structure during processing.

Does the Repeated Block Finder upload my text?

No. Processing runs in your browser, and this page does not send the pasted text to an analysis service.

Can I use the result without reviewing it?

You should review it against the original. Pattern-based extraction and checklists can miss unusual wording or context.

Why might the tool miss an item?

Unusual punctuation, OCR errors, inconsistent headings, or language outside the supported patterns can prevent a match.

Can I export the Repeated Block Finder results?

Yes. Copy the report or download TXT. Structured results also enable CSV and JSON downloads when useful.
