This little guy will do want you want.
The string can't have spaces, or you'll have to use a
different seperator rather than a space. If you wanted it
to be bullet proof, you would have to use arrays and do the
regexp compares on every element.

WARNING: If there is a pattern that is never repeated, this will go into an infinite loop

It is not commented, but short enough to be self explanitory (?)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my $orig_str = 'helloworldhellohellohihellohiworld';

my @patterns = ();

my $str = $orig_str;

while (length($str)) {
    my $len = 1;
    my $token = substr($str, 0, $len);
    my $test_p = substr($str, $len);
    while ($test_p =~ /$token/) {
        $len++;
        $token = substr($str, 0, $len);
        $test_p = substr($str, $len);
    }
    $token = substr($str, 0, $len - 1);
    push @patterns, $token;
    $token =~ s/ //g;
    $str =~ s/$token/ /g;
    $str =~ s/^ *//;
}

print Dumper(\@patterns);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
