If you're looking for this specific text then a good answer was
already given, but if that's an example, and what you want is
"someword-otherword-anotherone-" then you may need something more
generic like
/(?:[a-z]+-){2,3}/
which looks for a series of characters followed by a - that recurrs 2
or 3 times.
