Hello!

I need a little help for a way to remove multiple characters from a string.
A letter can be written up to 5 times for example, a number 15 times,
but all other characters max 2 times.

For example:
!!!!!!!!!!!! should become !
coooooooooooooooooooool should become coooool

I could make this:
to remove multiple "!"

But do I have to write this line for each character? There must be an easier way, maybe several lines but not one for each character.

Thank you for any help!
With regards, Boby!

I thought this could be done with a simple pattern, but it turns out that ([ABC]){2,} matches "ACBAAC" and all sorts of crap, and using a backreference doesn't make things any better, as it references the pattern instead of the match.

You could do it by using a loop to build your search and replace strings, though this might be relatively slow, or you could write your own function to run through the input string and keep count of how many times the last character appeared (I think this would be quite easy, and quite a bit faster than applying 60+ regexes in a loop).
