How to recognize something immediately after a #Value, when the #Value is not followed by a space

[numberslk]

Is there a way to match something immediately after a #Value, when the #Value is not followed by a space?

let nlp = require('compromise');

let doc1 = nlp('An 80 year old from Panadura has died')
let doc2 = nlp('A 79-years-old woman from Colombo 13 has died in her r')
let doc3 = nlp('A 79 years old woman from Colombo 13 has died in her r')

console.log(doc1.match('[(years|-years-|year)]').lookBehind('#Value$').text()) //80
console.log(doc2.match('([years|-years-|year)]').lookBehind('#Value$').text()) //79
console.log(doc3.match('([years|-years-|year])').lookBehind('#Value$').text()) // ?

is there a way to get this working for the 3rd?

hey @numberslk good question - admittedly, there are two things going wrong here in compromise -

nlp('79-years-old').debug() is being treated like one word - think because of the number-letter combo - as though it were a long ID number or hash. I can look at improving the tokenization regex for this, it's a good example.

the second thing is there is a @hasDash match function that doesn't seem to be working - nlp('foo-bar').match('@hasDash').debug() I can take a look at that one, too.

woops!
good issue! Thanks.

Great. Instead of going from behind, I end up dealing with it from the front. :) don't thank me. Thank you for the awesome library.

got a fix for 79-years-old tokenization in v13.9

the other thing - it's not hasDash, it's @hasHyphen:

nlp('foo-bar').match('@hasHyphen').debug()

cheers
