Thing you want to do

I want to make a string like ABBCCCAA ABCA

This is okay

PHP

>>>  preg_replace('/(.)\1+/', '\1', 'ABBCCCAA')
=> "ABCA"

'ABBCCCAA'.replace(/(.)\1+/g, '$1')
=> "ABCA"

ruby

"ABBCCCAA".gsub(/(.)\1+/, '\1')
=> "ABCA"

python

import re
print(re.sub(r'(.)\1+', '\\1', 'ABBCCCAA'))

=> "ABCA"

end
