Hello!

The regular expression [a-c] matches on a, b or c. How to put a hyphen
itself as either a or c, i.e. something like [--c] (from hyphen to c)?


Best regards,

Henrik Dahl
 
No, because the hyphen is not one of the characters which are enumerated to
be escapeable.

Hi Henrik,

Did you tried to "escape" it:

[a\-c]

Cheers,
