Just to add something on why this didn't work ...
It looks like you were trying to match a hyphen followed by a number up to
seven digits. by mistake(?) you gave the digit range as [0-0] so it would

Is the pattern supposed to mean something besides the "-" you want to
remove? For the problem you describe, pattern="-" should be enough. It
should locate
