Title
Body
I'm looking for a regex to match hyphenated words in Python. The closest I've managed to get is: '\w+-\w+[-w+]*' text = "one-hundered-and-three- some text foo-bar some--text" hyphenated = re.findall(r'\w+-\w+[-\w+]*',text) which returns list ['one-hundered-and-three-', 'foo-bar'] . This is almost perfect except for the trailing hyphen after 'three' . I only want the additional hyphen if followed by a 'word' . i.e. instead of the '[-\w+]\*' I need something like '(-\w+)*' which I thought would work, but doesn't (it returns ['-three, ''] ). i.e. something that matches |word followed by hyphen followed by word followed by hyphen_word zero or more times|.
