How would I search for a word using regular expressions?

[RedRado03]

I need to search for all whole words and whole words words that also contain
hyphens.
For example: B1-B2

This is what I have so far..

<([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9]*)>

To put a hyphen in your pattern you need to escape it with a backslash ...

<( [\-A-Za-z0-9]{1,})>

(untested - but should work unless the hyphens conflict with the word starts
and ends)
