in reply to Pattern Finding
Update: Hmm, this does not work, and I'm not sure why (regex bug? or bad code?) :-($_ = "hellohiworldhellohiworldhellohiworldhellohiworld"; if (/^((.+?)\2+)$/) { print "[$1][$2]\n"; }
Ok, got the above code to work at least the way I was expecting, but still probably not what you want.
<update>Though here's something that seems to do what you want:
use warnings; use strict; $_ = "helloworldhellohellohihellohiworld"; my %pttrns; PTTRN: { if (/\G(.{2,})(?=.*?\1)/g) { $pttrns{$1}++; SKIP: { my $again; for my $pat (keys %pttrns) { if (substr($_, pos, length $pat) eq $pat) { pos() += length($pat); redo SKIP; } } } redo PTTRN; } } print "[$_]\n" for keys %pttrns; ~/tmp >./tst [world] [hello] [hi]
