Replace consecutive "-" chars with a single character

[Gabriela]

Hi,
I would like to use VBScript regexp to locate multiple characters in a
string and replace them with a single "-" char.
In my case it's multiple "-" chars:
E.g.: "Gabriela---Hello--How----Are-You" -->"Gabriela-Hello-How-Are-
You"
How is it done?
Thanks, Gabi.

Dim s As String = "Gabriela---Hello--How----Are-You"
s = Regex.Replace(s , "-{2,}", "-")

Martin has shown you how to do this in .NET, if you are truly needing
a vbscript example, you will need to go to the vbscript group and not
the .NET newsgroup.
