Sir,
How to find the no. of repeated sequence (letters) in the given sentence.
for example, a="I want THAAAAAT APPPPPLE ):):): totally unprepared";
The No. of repeated sequences are: 3
ie.,
1. THAAAAAT
2. APPPPPLE
3. ):):):
thanks

Your #3, ):):): does not have continuously repeated symbols.
If the repeated sequences are to be identified, then why would all of THAAAAAT be output, and not just AAAAA ?

Try to understand the following and fine-tune it to your needs:
n = sum( diff([0, diff(a)==0]) == 1 )
In particular, evaluate
diff(a)==0
and see how your problem actually translates into counting clusters of the outcome of diff(a)==0.

You seem to indicate that one repeated sequence is '):'. As far as I am concerned, there is no simple generic solution if you want to detect repeated, arbitrary patterns. To illustrate,
'AABBCCDDEEFFAABBCCDDEEFF'
Here, repeated patterns are
'AA', 'BB', .., 'FF', 'AABB', 'BBCC', .., 'AABBCC', 'BBCCDD', ..,
'AABBCCDD', 'BBCCDDEE', .., 'AABBCCDDEEFF'
Using regular expressions, we can probably get some solution but it will be prohibitively time consuming.

Yeah, every emoticon would have to be predefined. For the chatroom we use here there are even word emoticons like (b) which inserts a frosty beer mug or (ply) which inserts an image of a playing card.

a='I want THAAAAAT APPPPPLE ):):): totally unprepared';
regexp(a, '(.+)\1{2,}', 'match')
ans =
1×3 cell array
'AAAAA' 'PPPPP' '):):):'
