Regex: match not double quoted and with a dash in the middle

From the following string

ar-101 "ar102" ar103 "ar-104" ar-105 "ar-106"

I only want to match the words that don’t start or end with quotes and have a dash between two words. So from the string I want to match ar-101 & ar-105

This is my regex so far, but it matches the words between quotes as well

\b\w+[-]\w+(?<!")\b

>Solution :

You’ve got it almost alright, just put your look behind at the start of the expression.

\b(?<!")\w+[-]\w+\b
