I have the following regex:
\p{Alpha}[\p{Alnum}-]+\p{Alnum}
With this, the text should start with an alpha character and could be followed by alphanumerics and dashes.
But I don't want to have two or more consecutive dashes. What is the right regex that I can use for this case?
You may consider this regex solution:
^\p{Alpha}\p{Alnum}*(?:-\p{Alnum}+)*$
RegEx Details:
^
: Start\p{Alpha}
: Match an alphabet\p{Alnum}*
: Match 0 or more alphanumeric characters(?:-\p{Alnum}+)*
: Match -
followed by 1+ of alphanumeric characters. Repeat this group 0 or more times$
: End
