I'd like have line one returned as it's a name but not the others. Thanks.

Thanks this does help! Your example above and using the following regex tester has really helped: https://regex101.com. I do have one question for you or anyone as I've been doing a lot of reading and I think I've found a simpler way to do what I want. How can I match a hyphen followed by a name with a regex? I have the following code that doesn't match. If I add an or "\|" between the statements I do match but I don't want an or, I want and and. `(?:^-)(?=[A-Z]'?[-a-zA-Z]+$)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
