Add hyphen to regular expression used in default token definition settings

[theres...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I've been using the AntWordProfiler with the default token definition settings so far. Now I have a few texts in which words are separated by hyphens (e.g., "unfortun-ately"). In order not to mess up the token count, I'd like to define the hyphen as a character too. However, since I've used the default settings so far and since I want the analyses to be as similar as possible, I'd like to add the hypen to the regular expression used for the default settings: (?<![\p{N}\p{L}])\p{L}+[\p{N}]*

How would I do that? Unfortunately that exceeds my very basic knowledge of regular expressions..

Thanks a lot in advance!

Kind regards,

Theresa

I think you just need to replace the middle \p{L}+ with the following:

[-\p{L}]+

Regards,

Laurence.
