Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.
(lemmy.world)
^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$
Matches strings of any character repeated a non-prime number of times
No cookie for me I just tried it in Notepad++ and VS code and it matches lines of one characer (first group I think) or the starting of a line that is an at least 2 characters string repeated twice (second group it seems)
so the second group matches abab
abcabc abcdeabce abcdefabcdef
Nothing about prime numbers really only first repetition gets a match. Very interesting Honestly I used regex from years and never had to retort to something like this ever. I can only imagine it useful to check for a password complexity to not be repeated strings like I do for sites that I just want in and use a yopmail.com mail to register a fake user.
"at least 2 characters repeated [at least] twice" implies the string's length is divisible by a number greater than 1.
Yes but the match goes for the first repetition the rest of the string isn't matched no matter the length, again don't find anything about prime numbers unless I checked something wrong. There is another guy who got it right it seems.
