adjacent repeating letters

I d like to ask whether anybody knows a simple way to calculate the letters of a phrase and the adjacent repeating letters till '#' occurs,,,

For example:
Hello Harry! [Goodmorning]#

Letters : 21
Adjacent repeating letters: 3

Thanx a lot!!!:) :) :)

Code:

---

public class AdjacentCount {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "Hello Harry! [Goodmorning]#";
        int length = text.length();
        int count = 0;
        int pos = 0;
        while(pos < length-1) {
            if(text.charAt(pos) == text.charAt(pos+1)) {
                System.out.println("found match " + text.charAt(pos) +
                                  " at " + pos + " and " + (pos+1));
                count++;
            }
            pos++;
        }
        System.out.println("count = " + count);
    }
}
