[phossler]

Trying to clean book from Project Guttenberg that must have stated life as a scan.

There are many mis-placed or not needed hyphens everywhere

example 1: bat-tered
example 2: $500,- 000
example 3: the cat and -the dog
example 4: the cat- and the dog

I've been using spellcheck, one mis-spelt word at a time

Is there any RegEx's that have been used to at least take some of the tedium out of it?

That way I could just [Find] and [Replace and Find] through the document

Would really like a RE that would address common cases so I could do a [Replace All]

Thanks
