Limiting the consecutive occurrence

[Hash-IT]

@Pixel

Thanks for the code !!!

I realise what I had done wrong now, I was filtering way to hard. I also had never tried starting with anything other than A so obviously there was a lot to delete before getting any hits.

I have reduced my filtering somewhat and starting from B it now works, thank you for your help.

Please see above, thats what I was doing wrong...thanks.

OK I have some Regular Expression code to share here which as I said before is almost exactly like M@liks but not for SED. I had to take out the backslash for my interpreter to work.

This bit is the consecutive one.

Code:

(.)\1

This bit is for n occurrences per line.

Code:

(.).*\1

The reason these may be useful is that they can be used to filter an already generated list.... Hope it helps.

On the subject of how hard to filter can I get some agreement from you two ?

It would seem that we should allow 2 consecutive characters together and no more than 2 per line. Do you both agree ? I think any more or less defeats the object of filtering.


However I do like Pixels idea about not allowing consecutive alphabetical order either. Nice one !

Comments please...
