Re: A Little Brainteaser

I've got to level 4 (I think) but searching for a small letter with 3 big ones either side will take me ages and I don't know code.

I did the previous one using find and replace.

Not a Python coder but for regex

s/[A-Z]{3}([a-z])[A-Z]{3}/\1/

If the last 3 letters will be the same as the first then you can use a back reference.

s/([A-Z]{3})([a-z])\1/\2/

I have no idea how he even dug this thread up, it’s not especially remarkable and it doesn’t top any way of listing threads (because it’s old, but nowhere near oldest, so you wouldn’t see it even if you sorted threads oldest first).
