perl regular expression
letz say that my file has 7 records with only one field. So my file has:
11111111
000000000000000
1111
aaaabbbccc
1111111222000000
aaaaaaaa
zz
All i need is:
1. when the field has a repetition of the same instance(a-z or 0-9), i would consideer it to be invalid. eg.(11111111,000000000000000,1111,aaaaaaaa,zz are all invalid)
2.If there is a repetition of 2 or more instances,it is valid. (eg. 1111111222000000,aaaabbbccc is valid)
3. Please note that the length of each field may vary.
So, i am expecting the output:
aaaabbbccc
1111111222000000
I am not sure if the title of the thread suits the matter. Anyway, whoever crosses this thread i would appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ReplaceTags(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ReplaceTags(3)
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ReplaceTags - tags for SpamAssassin rules
The plugin allows rules to contain regular expression tags to be used in regular expression rules. The tags make it much easier to
maintain complicated rules.
Warning: This plugin relies on data structures specific to this version of SpamAssasin; it is not guaranteed to work with other versions of
SpamAssassin.
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ReplaceTags
replace_start <
replace_end >
replace_tag A [a@]
replace_tag G [gk]
replace_tag I [il|!1y?xccxcdxcexcfxecxedxeexef]
replace_tag R [r3]
replace_tag V (?:[vu]|\/)
replace_tag SP [s~_-]
body VIAGRA_OBFU /(?!viagra)<V>+<SP>*<I>+<SP>*<A>+<SP>*<G>+<SP>*<R>+<SP>*<A>+/i
describe VIAGRA_OBFU Attempt to obfuscate "viagra"
replace_rules VIAGRA_OBFU
RULE DEFINITIONS AND PRIVILEGED SETTINGS
replace_tag tagname expression
Assign a valid regular expression to tagname.
Note: It is not recommended to put quantifiers inside the tag, it's better to put them inside the rule itself for greater flexibility.
replace_pre tagname expression
Assign a valid regular expression to tagname. The expression will be placed before each tag that is replaced.
replace_inter tagname expression
Assign a valid regular expression to tagname. The expression will be placed between each two immediately adjacent tags that are
replaced.
replace_post tagname expression
Assign a valid regular expression to tagname. The expression will be placed after each tag that is replaced.
replace_rules list_of_tests
Specify a list of symbolic test names (separated by whitespace) of tests which should be modified using replacement tags. Only simple
regular expression body, header, uri, full, rawbody tests are supported.
replace_start string
replace_end string
String(s) which indicate the start and end of a tag inside a rule. Only tags enclosed by the start and end strings are found and
replaced.
