Keith Briggs
(work url

has written new incredibly tiny and tight versions in
Perl
thethe.pl
and
Python
thethe.py.
Unfortunately, neither of these report the line number,
which means they are hard to use on large files.
Keith says:
"It would be possible to report the line number but not with a 2-line
program.
We would have to revert to searching line by line, remembering the
last word in each line and checking it against the first word of the next.
I leave that as a homework exercise."
