字符串空格选择性移除：按规则清除首尾、减半组间空格需求

Let's break down how to solve this string manipulation problem exactly as you described. Here's a Python implementation that hits all your requirements:

import re

# Your input string
input_str = '[ A A A A A B B B B B B B B A A A A A ]'

# Step 1: Remove leading/trailing spaces from the entire string
stripped_str = input_str.strip()

# Step 2: Extract content inside the brackets and split into character groups + spaces
inner_content = stripped_str[1:-1]
# Regex pattern to capture: either groups of repeated characters (with spaces) OR blocks of spaces
parts = re.findall(r'((?:\w\s*)+)|(\s+)', inner_content)

# Step 3: Process each part
processed_segments = []
for char_group, space_block in parts:
    if char_group:
        # Remove all spaces within the same character group
        processed_segments.append(char_group.replace(' ', ''))
    else:
        # Halve the number of spaces between different groups
        processed_segments.append(' ' * (len(space_block) // 2))

# Step 4: Reconstruct the final string
result = f'[{"".join(processed_segments)}]'
print(repr(result))  # Output: '[AAAAA BBBBBBBB AAAAA]'

How this works: #

1. Strip首尾空格: The strip() method removes any extra spaces at the very start and end of your input string (so something like ' [ ... ] ' becomes '[ ... ]').
2. Extract inner content: We slice off the opening [ and closing ] to focus on the characters and spaces inside.
3. Split into groups: The regex splits the inner content into two types of segments:
   • Character groups (like A A A A A or B B B B B B B B)
   • Blocks of spaces between these groups
4. Process each segment:
   • For character groups: We remove all internal spaces to get a continuous string of the same character (e.g., A A A A A → AAAAA).
   • For space blocks: We take the length of the space block, divide it by 2 (using integer division to avoid fractions), and create a new space block of that length.
5. Reconstruct: We join all processed segments back together, wrap them in brackets, and get your desired output.

If you need to handle odd numbers of spaces between groups (e.g., 7 spaces → 4 instead of 3), just replace len(space_block) // 2 with round(len(space_block) / 2)—that will round to the nearest integer instead of truncating.
