Hello guys! I'm skilling regex using Perl and i've some trouble about a simple try: i've a string like:
$string = "HELLOOOOAAABBCCCC"; and i want to manipulate in that way: HELL4O3ABB4C;You can simply notice that when i have 3 or more occurrences of a character, i want to substitute all the occurrences and write "nC" where n is how times the character C is found on a string. So, in regex (i think there are so many way to do it but i wish to do with regex, just skilling...) i write: $string =~ s/(.)\1\1+/$1/; but how can i get the number of the occurrences in the string of that pattern? Thanks alot guys, hope on your reply Have a nice time!
