Regex for repeated character?
How do I make a regular expression which will match the same character
repeated one or more times, instead of matching repetitions of any
(possibly non-same) characters like ".+" does? In other words, I want a
pattern like this:
>>> re.findall(".+", "foo") # not what I want
['foo']
>>> re.findall("something", "foo") # what I want
['f', 'oo']
.
