Mod Rewrite URL with Number

Question

I want to rewrite an url from example.php?id=123 to example-123-hello-world
(where "hello-world" is some fake text)

I tried this:

RewriteRule ^example-(.*)-(.*)$ /example.php?id=$1

it works only if there are no "-" in hello world:

example-123-helloworld 

Any ideas how to do this? thanks a lot! :)

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^example\-([0-9]+)\-(.*)/?$ example.php?id=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
