Hi,
I just stumbled across this and thought it might help, it might do the same
thing you're indicating below, but if your try doesn't work, then maybe this
will help.
from man perlfaq4
How do I remove consecutive pairs of characters?
To turn `"abbcccd"' into `"abccd"':
s/(.)\1/$1/g; # add /s to include newlines
Here's a solution that turns "abbcccd" to "abcd":
y///cs; # y == tr, but shorter :-)
----Original Message Follows----
This is "what" the line looks like:
LLiinnuuxx--PPAAMM library
there is a Ctrl-H between each duplicate pair of letters..
I think I can strip it with a perl script at work.
$mystring=~/\cH.//g
I think will do it, I'll read the whole file into an array and iterate
through and see what happens..
