Hi All,
Sorry for the slightly OT posting.
Don't have much experience in the way of Regular Expressions and not
finding anything obvious in PregEx Xtra documentation, my books or on
the web. Wondering if one of you folks might be able to point me in the
right direction.
What is the Regular Expression for matching a particular number of any
repeated character - each of the same character repeats spaced by any
other, wild character?
What I'm looking for:
Say we're looking for 10 repeats of the same (of any) character (the
repeated character being the first in the string) each of the character
repeats "spaced" by any character. The RegExp might return:
"A&A&A.A.A:A:A:ABA(A(A("
(A is the repeating character)
or
"%^%^%^%*%l%>%>%>%>%%"
(% is the repeating character)
or
"$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$0"
($ is the repeating character)
Thanks in advance for any nudge in the right direction.
Gilles
