You don't need a regex for that:

if (strpos($string, '-') !== false && strpos($string, '.') === false)
    //do what you want...

no need regex for this, one method is to use strpos

strpos($mystr,"-" ) !== FALSE && strpos($mystr,"." ) === FALSE

Don't know about php, but this should do it:

^[^.]*-[^.]*$
