Regex for replacing all consecutive dashes to single dash

[DotNetNewbie]

Hi,

I want to replace all consecutive (2 or more) dashes into a single
dash.

So text like "hello--world is-cool------ok?"

should become "hello-word is-cool-ok?"

so it doesn't effect anything except replace all consecutive dashes
into a single dash.

What would the regex look like?

See
<URL:http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/browse_thread/thread/6959b1e85a7ea69e/5604494b6830ccfb?lnk=st&q=#5604494b6830ccfb>,
code there is VB.NET but the regular expression obviously is the same
for all .NET languages.

something like: Text = Regex.Replace(Text, "-{2,}", "-") ;
