Tell me if my undestanding is correct,
For ex I1=12,I2=23,I3=34,I4=45,I5=56 is the key.
When the pattern with N-N-N-N-N is found
do you want to replace it with I1-I2-I3-I4-I5?
or First matching pattern should be replace with I1-I1-I1-I1-I1, then with I2-I2-I2-I2-I2 and so on..

in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.

or

EXTRA INFO
Special characters in from string:
