I'm fairly happy most of the time using REs and can come up with some hairy looking stuff occasionally but I can't, at the moment, see a way to do this:-
I want to match two lines like the following using a Regular Expression:-
abcmnoxyz =========
The first line is essentially random, the second line will be all the same character of a limited number of possibles (=, - and maybe a couple more). The lines can probably be required to be the same length but it would be nice if they didn't have to be. It would be OK to have multiple REs, one for each possible 'underline' character.
It's not a fixed length by the way, the minimum length will probably be 4 characters or so.
Can anyone come up with a way to do this?
