I generally don't require newbies to create and then read a file for
demonstration purposes. I prefer my examples to run exactly as posted. This
avoids the otherwise inevitable "I tried it and it didn't work!"" replies.

What this means is the OP needs to explain the circumstances under which he
wants two "h" character in a row, clearly and unambiguously. Before, after,
and in between.

And now, on re-reading his first post, I can't tell whether he got that
result and didn't want it, or didn't get it and wanted it. Or ... got it
and wanted it, and thought he would mention it in passing.
