How to use back references to match the patterns?

Hi,
I have provided a sample example of how to retrieve matched data from a text file using backreferences. This tutorial will help us in understanding how to create a regular expression for matching the repeating patterns from a source.I will explain in the video tutorial about how to match repeating letters and how to match repeating words from a given source. We will also see how to construct a regular expression for the above scenarios.After we do that we will see how to extract matched data from the source and use it for our purpose.

        static string CreateString()
        {
            FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"C:\My stuff\Work Stuff\Blog\Test\SampleText.txt", FileMode.Open);

            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);
          
            string s = sr.ReadToEnd();

            sr.Close();
            fs.Close();
            return s;

          

        }


        static void DisplayMatches(string s)
        {
          
            Regex r;
            Match m;

      
            for (m = r.Match(s); m.Success; m = m.NextMatch())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Found repeating words  at "
                + m.Groups[1].Index + " And the macth is " + m.Groups[1].Value);
            }
        }
