Are the numbers specifying the length of a pattern limited to a single digit?
- Does the string 12XYCCCCCCCCCCD contain 2 patterns: 12XYCCCCCCCCCC and D (each occurring once)? Or does it contain the pattern 2XY occurring once, the pattern C occurring 10 times, and the pattern D occurring once?
- What happens if a digit is followed by fewer uppercase letters than are specified by that digit?
In the string 3D@C, is there one pattern (3D@C) or two patterns (D and C)?
- Your code explicitly counts occurrences of A and B separately from counting patterns that might contain them. Is that what you want?
Should the string 4AABB just report one occurrence of the pattern 4AABB? Or, should it report the pattern 4AABB occurring once, two occurrences of the pattern A, and two occurrences of the pattern B?
- Is the digit 1 special?
Should the string 1XX be treated as one occurrence of the pattern 1X and one occurrence of the pattern X? Or, should it be treated as two occurrences of the pattern X?

To match range, the command is:
awk '/BEGIN/,/END/'
but what I want is the range is printed only if there is additional pattern that matches in the range itself? maybe like this:
awk '/BEGIN/,/END/ if only in that range there is /pattern/'
