Python Regex for hyphenated words

问题:

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|.

Try this:

re.findall(r'\w+(?:-\w+)+',text)

Here we consider a hyphenated word to be:

• a number of word chars
• followed by any number of:
  • a single hyphen
  • followed by word chars
