Hello,
I'm using mathematica 2.2 (Unix), and i'm trying to do pattern
matching with repeated patterns.
This example produce the result i want :
In : {a,a,a,b} /. {a...,b} -> Hello
Out : Hello
But this one don't :
In : {b} /. {a...,b} -> Hello
Out : {b}
I was hopping : Out : Hello
Why doesn't work it ???
