Re^2: Check a string for consecutive digits

This another variant that uses qr// to check for the 'or' / '|' of all three digit sequences. I just boil it down to one regex here.

use strict;
use warnings;

my $dig3_regex_str = join '|',
    map { ($_, scalar reverse $_) } # 012 and 210
        map { join '', $_ .. $_+ 2 } 0..7;  # 012, 123, ...

my $dig3_regex = qr/$dig3_regex_str/;

# Test samples taken from other monks postings ...
my @strings =
  ( '10203040', '1234', '298761', '4562', '856423', 'a12b543c');

for my $string (@strings) {
    print "Bad string => $string\n"
      if $string =~ $dig3_regex;
}

Your more neat (IMHO) variant is easily made configurable and, like Re: Check a string for consecutive digits, uses no 5.10 regex extensions: `use constant MIN => 4; my $delta = MIN-1; ;; my ($too_many_consec) = map qr{ $_ }xms, join ' \| ', map { $_, scalar reverse $_ } map { join '', $_ .. $_+$delta } 0 .. (9-$delta) ; ...` [download] Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
