regexp help
 

I am no good with regular expressions. Could someone give me a regular expression that grabs (matches) sequences that include a hyphen and a number. I want to match like this:

text-23-more-text-456

hyphen and number and not just hyphens. I got the following:
-[\d]*
but that matches all hyphens and numbers. I just want hyphens followed by any number of numbers. Help!

Untested: -\d+-?

Hi Dear

I don't know wat exactly u want.
Try out If u want only " - " before a number :
grep -E '[-]\d*' filename
this may help you.

Why on earth did you dig this three year old carcass of a thread up?
