You made the same mistake I did. It fails to find two 'aba' in 'ababa'.

Mistake and mistake. That's not how I interpreted the question. The problem statement is a bit vague on this. For practical purposes I don't think 'aaa' should report 2 x 'aa' as well. If this is the task however, it's better to just exhaustively match everything of a minimum length. The problem as I (and you?) interpreted it is actually more interesting, I think. lodin	[reply]
