I wannt to build VbScript regex for string having format like
XX-XX-XX-XX
XX= \w (Alphanumeric)
Note : Number of Hyphen are dynamic.
Sample i/p ABSCD123 ABC-123 ABC-234-PQ3 A-B-C
I created something like
^\w+\-*\w+$
But it is not working.Can anybody help me?

I think you want to group the first "word" with the hyphen
^(\w+\-)*\w+$
This assumes that you want to match things like
XX-XX
XXX-X
XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XXX
But not
XX-
XX--XX
If there has to be a hyphen then this would work
^(\w+\-)+\w+$
