Same code on multiple files

[edertone]

It looks like the duplicate code report is shown always for code on two files. If we have, for example, the same method on 4 different files, we won't get a report saying that the block of code is found on all those files. Instead, we will see that the code is duplicated on file 1 and 2, and 3 and 4

It would be really helpful to group the duplicate code on all the files where it is found, so if we have the same block of code in 10 files we can fix it on all of them at once

I need this feature as well

Thank you of the feature request.

I will investigate the problem but looks like it is not easy to implement with Rabin Karp algorithm used inside jscpd.

Of course it does not seem easy to implement!, just an improvement suggestion,

thanks!

I filed #474 before finding this #221 but they are related so wanted to comment here.

In addition to reporting on the same code on multiple files, I'd like to see a report that indicates more than two instances of the same code in the same file. The reason is to be able to prioritize which files might need refactoring. Two instances per file might be ok for a team, but more than three might not be.

hi @kucherenko any updates on this ?
