given this text:
hello-world
I can match it with this regex:
hello\-.+?\b
The catch is if I have this:
hello-world-howyadoing
that second dash is consider a word boundary, so the match ends at ‘world’
How do I say ‘stop at next word boundary UNLESS that word boundary is a dash’ in regex?
This is in .js, btw.
It depends what kind of stuff you’re doing, but you can probably just specify the list of word boundaries you’re interested in
hello\-[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*Might accomplish what you want
