Oops. Screwed up with the reply-to button. Sorry about the duplicates, Abigail. :) If I count the number of non-repeating characters in the following JAPH, I find fourteen. $$aa = qq ((pprriinntt qq ""JJuusstt aannootthheerr PPeerrll HHaacckkeerr""));; $$aa =~ s((((((((((((.)))))))))))((\11)))($11)gg;; $$aa =~ s((((((((((((....................................))))))))))))(($11))ee;; The following only has eight non-repeated characters, which includes robin's trick for eliminating one of the non-duplicated characters. s(())((pprriinntt qq ""JJuusstt aannootthheerr PPeerrll HHaacckkeerr"")); s((((((((((((..??))\11))))))))))(($11))egg;; s((((((((((((....................................))))))))))))(($11))ee;; On another note, can anyone help me with these Lisp/Scheme nightmares I've been having recently?
