I want to remove part of a string (shown in bold) below, this is stored in the string *oldString*

[DMSM-8433] **加護亜依** Kago Ai – 加護亜依 vs. FRIDAY

im using the following regex within python

```
p=re.compile(ur"( [\W]+) (?=[A-Za-z ]+–)", re.UNICODE)
newString=p.sub("", oldString)

```

when i output the *newString* nothing has been removed
