TIMTOWTDI:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
=head - Per OP
$a='aabbccdddd';
I want the Output like this
$a='abcd';
=cut
my $a = 'aabbccdddd';
my $prev = '';
my @a = split //,$a;
for my $found(@a) {
if ($prev eq $found) {
next;
} else {
print "\$found is: $found \n"; #Omit \n if oneline output desi
+red.
$prev = $found;
next;
}
}
Output:
ww@GIG:~/pl_test$ perl -c 718695.pl
718695.pl syntax OK
ww@GIG:~/pl_test$ perl 718695.pl
$found is: a
$found is: b
$found is: c
$found is: d
Note: This will fail on the likes of $a='aabbccadddd'
ww@GIG:~/pl_test$ perl 718695.pl
$found is: a
$found is: b
$found is: c
$found is: a # dup
$found is: d
If the data is in this form, use a %hash as andreas1234567 does, above or sort the string.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
