Oct 31, 2016 at 6:13 comment added Austin Sorry I'll try to re-explain. I have a list of words that is too big for me to manually look through. I want to print out to my terminal each word in the list that is spelled with 3 or more non-vowel characters in a row. For example: it should print 'angst' because that has 4 consonants in a row (ngst), but it shouldn't print 'paper' because that only has 1 consonant in a row.
Oct 31, 2016 at 6:10 comment added heemayl @Jake ummmm, sorry I don't understand. It would be better if you ask this as a new question with an input chunk and your desired output from that.
Oct 31, 2016 at 6:08 comment added Austin no I just want to list the words that contain 3 or more consonants in a row

Oct 31, 2016 at 6:02 comment added Austin Thanks, will except answer when it allows in a few mins. Any chance you can tell me how to make it list the whole word if it finds the pattern instead of just the pattern?
