check for repeating digits

[sdlangers]

hi,

 

i have a 10 digit random number generated

 

i want to check that there are the same digit is not in the number 3 times in a row

 

e.g. 1224526890 is ok, but 1222426890 is not ok because 2 is there 3 times in a row

 

i guess some type of regular expression can do this, but i dont know how to use these or which one to use

 

thanks for your help

A bit more compact:

(\d)(?:\1){2}
