Subject: matching in line


Hello!

I need to read a text file line by line and check every line if it has 5 same chars together in it.

if the file looks like this

lksdjvhhgaeifgas;dfjnafb
dlsjfhgq30874riwufh;wdofia
jsg55555dsbafoiewury20348r7y2-3495

only line 3 will be printed

is there a fast way using pattern match to do it?


thanks
Yehuda Ernst
