A:
Perhaps the - is being confused for a range operator (as in [a-z]). Try putting it first.
[^-\s]

[^-\s]

Which programming language are you using? May be you just need to escape the backslash like "[^\\s-]"

@rudimenter: Cagdas was just suggesting that there might be different behavior depending on your environment (which you didn't tell us).

@rudimenter: If the regex is defined by a string, then you need to escape the backslash or use a verbatim string like `@"string"` in .NET or `r"string"` in Python.
