FUNCTIONS
convert_sequence_to_range
Usage:
convert_sequence_to_range(%args) -> any
Find sequences in arrays & convert to range (e.g.
"a","b","c","d","x",1,2,3,4,"x" -> "a..d","x","1..4","x").
Examples:
* basic:
convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "d"]); # -> ["1..4", "x", "a..d"]
* option: separator:
convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "d"], separator => "-"); # -> ["1-4", "x", "a-d"]
* option: threshold:
convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "e"], threshold => 5); # -> [1 .. 4, "x", "a..e"]
Sequence follows Perl's autoincrement notion, e.g. 1->2, "aa"->"ab",
"az"->"ba", "01"->"02", "ab1"->"ab2".
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* array => *array[str]*
* separator => *str* (default: "..")
* threshold => *posint* (default: 4)
Return value: (any)

SEE ALSO
Data::Dump also does something similar, e.g. if you say "dd
[1,2,3,4,"x","a","b","c","d"];" it will dump the array as ""[1 .. 4,
"x", "a" .. "d"]"".
Number::Util::Range which only deals with numbers.
