Ok, let me try again with some examples of how data look now (old) and should look (new):
-case 1: only 's'
old:sssss new:iiiii

-case 2: only 's' and 'U'
old:sssUUss new:iiiMMoo

-case 3: only 's' and 'D'
old:sssDDss new:oooMMii

-case 4: 's', 'D' and 'U' (all possible characters)
old:sssssDDDDDDDssssUUUss new:oooooMMMMMMMiiiiMMMoo

OR
old:sssssUUUUUUUssssDDDss new:iiiiiMMMMMMMooooMMMii

For some reason, the code I wrote changes many but not all cases... Not that you cannot see s+D+s+D+s+<code> sequence, or <code>s+U+s+U+s+<code>. <code>D and U alternate.
