change underscores to hyphens in URLs with file names that begin with the word article

I tried using some code I found elsewhere on stackoverflow, but I want to modify it, and I don't know how. 

RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_+(.*)$ $1-$2 [E=underscores:Yes,N]
RewriteCond %{ENV:underscores} ^Yes$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

This changes all underscores to hyphens. However, I need to limit this set of statements to only URLs that begin:

http://www.mydomain.tld/article...

In other words, the rules should only apply when the file name begins with the word article.

Can someone help?

Try this and see if this and see if it works for you..

RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_+(.*)$ $1-$2 [E=underscores:Yes,N]
RewriteCond %{ENV:underscores} ^Yes$
RewriteRule ^article(.+)$ /article$1 [R=301,L]
