This seems to work just as well? `perl -nlE"say s/(.)(?!.*\1)//g"` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

tye++ ... but I'm stuck to understand how it works? According to perlop: Searches a string for a pattern, and if found, replaces that pattern with the replacement text and returns the number of substitutions made. How does the number of substitutions made equate to the number of characters left after the substitutions?

You can drop the final semicolon, too. How comes there are not two of them? :-) لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
