How to (grep) similar words ending or not in s?

The idea is to recognize identical words like:
car /cars
house/houses, etc.
Could not solve with look-behinds, etc.

We are working in an interactive grammar (spanish) where practically all the words, at least for our project, form plural with the addition of letter s. (Spanish do not have double ss ending words). Working with plurals is part of the goals.
The copy is a list (single words separated by hard returns already alfabetized):
Dardo
DardoS
Dedo
DedoS
Día
DíaS
Duda
DudaS
It is required that grep identify the singular or the plural when both words are the same.
(Some exceptions like the word Dios/Dioses= God will be resolved by other means)
Thank you!

HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

How can I use word count without it counting the words in the end notes by default?

How can I use word count without it counting the words in the end?
Now I have to highlight the text to get a count.

I don't think that is possible, it does what it does.

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

I have installed the font Broadway on my computer and it works in Microsoft Word but does not appear in the font list in InDesign. How can I fix this problem?

I have installed the font Broadway on my computer and it works in Microsoft Word but does not appear in the font list in InDesign. How can I fix this problem?

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Just updated to Lion. Didn't realize things like reading a Word document would not be supported. How do I get these files back and how I do read them going forward? When a PC user sends me a word document won't I be able to open it and read it?

Just updated to Lion today, 11/22/11. I did not realize things likes reading a Word document would not be supported. "You cannot open this because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." How am I supposed to read and open Word documents from PC users? Any insight is helpful, thanks!

You have Word 2004 which is PPC based. Lion is not able to execute PPC code. You have to upgrade. Or you can do as I do an open them in Pages, since I refuse to allow anything from Microsloth on my Mac.

Does the Technical Communication Suite have an installation application similar to the Creative Cloud Suite? If so, how do I get it? If not, how do I upgrade from version 4? Thank you

Thank you.

Not sure what CCS has that you’re referring to, but TCS5 is out and can be installed via subscription or downloaded installer.

I added Lion and lost word!!! Not happy! How can I get word back?

The "genius" at the genius bar suggested I upgrade to Lion in order to sync I-Cloud. He saw my computer and gave me no warnings about Lion
deleting my Word applications. Now I have a project I need to work on and cannot access my documents! Also, I need to change the scroll back since I don't like the reverse mouse scroll that automatically happened with Lion. How can I get Word back?

Regarding your other question about scrolling: Lion is really designed with trackpads in mind.
If you don't like the scroll direction then reverse it by un-checking "scroll direction: natural" in either your trackpad or mouse preferences.
You can use any number of applications to open and save Word formatted documents. Some are free. MS Office 11 is not your only choice.

HT5449 How do I get dictation I know when I want the word period and not a full stop.

How do I get dictation I know when I want the word period and not a full stop.

Try the alternatives: "point," "dot," and/or "full stop." Do any of these options produce a period for you? And, as a different punctuation test, does something such as "comma" work for you?

How do you do a search for multiple occurences of the same word in a NOTE?

How do you search for multiiple occurences of a word in NOTES? I seem only to be able to find the first occurence and then it goes into a loop, never past the first occurence.

I want to find all the same words in ONE NOTE. It is a very loong list and I want to find all cccurences of a specific word in that one NOTE when I do a search. I thought I had solved this earlier today but now I can't seem to repeat it. I type in word in the SEARCH box, select the NOTE and then it shows me the FIRST occurence in that note, but only the first,

I cannot open/download Word documents. I need to add it to applications, but the "open as" box does not pop up when I click on a link. How can I add Word to applications?

When I click on a docx file, it works. Only a problem for older version Word and Excel files. When I click on the link, nothing happens. Word files are not listed in my "applications", but I have no way of adding it.

%AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
