ALGOL 68
Palindromes of length 1 or more are detected, finds the left most palindrome if there are several of the same length.
Treats upper and lower case as distinct and does not require the characters to be letters.

Raku
This version regularizes (ignores) case and ignores non alphanumeric characters. It is only concerned with finding the longest palindromic substrings so does not exhaustively find all possible palindromes. If a palindromic substring is found to be part of a longer palindrome, it is not captured separately. Showing the longest 5 palindromic substring groups. Run it with no parameters to operate on the default; pass in a file name to run it against that instead.

I've assumed that the expression 'substring' includes the string itself and that substrings of length 1 are considered to be palindromic. Also that if there is more than one palindromic substring of the longest length, then all such distinct ones should be returned.
The Phix entry examples have been used. <lang ecmascript>import "/seq" for Lst import "/fmt" for Fmt
var longestPalSubstring = Fn.new { |s|
var len = s.count if (len <= 1) return [s] var targetLen = len var longest = [] var i = 0 while (true) { var j = i + targetLen - 1 if (j < len) { var ss = s[i..j] if (ss == ss[-1..0]) longest.add(ss) i = i + 1 } else { if (longest.count > 0) return longest i = 0 targetLen = targetLen - 1 } }
}
var strings = ["babaccd", "rotator", "reverse", "forever", "several", "palindrome", "abaracadaraba"] System.print("The palindromic substrings having the longest length are:") for (s in strings) {
var longest = Lst.distinct(longestPalSubstring.call(s)) Fmt.print(" $-13s Length $d -> $n", s, longest[0].count, longest)
}</lang>
- Output:
The palindromic substrings having the longest length are: babaccd Length 3 -> [bab, aba] rotator Length 7 -> [rotator] reverse Length 5 -> [rever] forever Length 5 -> [rever] several Length 3 -> [eve] palindrome Length 1 -> [p, a, l, i, n, d, r, o, m, e] abaracadaraba Length 3 -> [aba, ara, aca, ada]
