0482. License Key Formatting
https://leetcode.com/problems/license-key-formatting
Description
You are given a license key represented as a string s
that consists of only alphanumeric characters and dashes. The string is separated into n + 1
groups by n
dashes. You are also given an integer k
.
We want to reformat the string s
such that each group contains exactly k
characters, except for the first group, which could be shorter than k
but still must contain at least one character. Furthermore, there must be a dash inserted between two groups, and you should convert all lowercase letters to uppercase.
Return the reformatted license key.
Example 1:
**Input:** s = "5F3Z-2e-9-w", k = 4
**Output:** "5F3Z-2E9W"
**Explanation:** The string s has been split into two parts, each part has 4 characters.
Note that the two extra dashes are not needed and can be removed.
Example 2:
**Input:** s = "2-5g-3-J", k = 2
**Output:** "2-5G-3J"
**Explanation:** The string s has been split into three parts, each part has 2 characters except the first part as it could be shorter as mentioned above.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
s
consists of English letters, digits, and dashes'-'
.1 <= k <= 104
