lets say you have this column of numbers
1000028706
1000028707
1000028708
100
12
1000028706
1000028707
1000028708
1000028709
1000028706
1000028707
1000028708
100
12
6
How can I build up a program that tells me that this sequence
1000028706
1000028707
1000028708
is repeated somewhere in the column, and how can i know where?
In your example, would "100,12" also be output, or do you only
care about the first find? Do you have a minimum or maximum
number of repeats you care about? Is a repeated number a
"sequence of length 1"? Can it be capped to know that if you
have more than N items in common, you don't have to compare more
than N items from the entire pair of sequences?
