Subject: word boundaries for regular expressions

Hi did a search for word boundaries but didnt quite find what i was
looking for.

If i have strings containing products and model numbers

e.g.
"JP-ATH Headphones JP"

and I want to remove the last JP but not the one in the modle number how
do i go about it,

i tried

string.gsub(/\bJP\b/, '')
but it removes both.
I guess the hypen in the model number doesnt count as a word letter so
it gets knocked off.

am i doing something wrong here?
