Ctrl-C Ctrl-P

Clipboard challenge in a single, gnarly regex

$ echo "the first[CTRL+C] Coding Challenge was [CTRL+V] string manipulation task" | ./clip.sh
the first Coding Challenge was the first string manipulation task

Run tests with

./test.sh

Caveats:

  • Cannot use [ in the string anywhere that isn't a command
  • Does not support pasting the same thing multiple times. E.g. the first[CTRL+C] Coding Challenge was [CTRL+V] [CTRL+V] string manipulation task
