How to write regex function which uses dictionary?
I have a book which has hyphens instead of em dashes, and I'm trying to fix it. Using a regex like "-(and|but|with)" catches a few cases, but it would be better to find all "\w+-\w+" which are not in the current dictionary, which would catch about 99% of all cases (and leave the remainder to the proofreading stage).

How could I write a regex function to do this?
