Removing hyphen from beginning and end of a word only.

It is very simple to remove a hyphen from a word anywhere in that word using a simple sed command (sed -i 's/-//g' filename), but I am not able to figure out how to do this:

For example,
Code:
apple
-orange
tree
pipe-
banana-shake
dupe-

What my output should look like:
Code:
apple
orange
tree
pipe
banana-shake
dupe

I want to do this in Linux with BASH.

Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	    Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone(3pm)

NAME
Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone - A Visitor for cloning parts of Tree::Simple hierarchy SYNOPSIS
use Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone; # create an visitor my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone->new(); $visitor->setCloneDepth(3); # pass our visitor to the tree $tree->accept($visitor); my $partial_tree = $visitor->getClone(); DESCRIPTION
This visitor will clone METHODS
new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the "setNodeFilter" method to customize its behavior. includeTrunk ($boolean) Based upon the value of $boolean, this will tell the visitor to include the trunk of the tree in the traversal as well. This basically means it will clone the root node as well. setCloneDepth ($number) setNodeFilter ($filter_function) This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are cloned. visit ($tree) This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise. getClone This method returns the cloned partial tree. BUGS
None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it. CODE COVERAGE
See the CODE COVERAGE section in Tree::Simple::VisitorFactory for more inforamtion. SEE ALSO
These Visitor classes are all subclasses of Tree::Simple::Visitor, which can be found in the Tree::Simple module, you should refer to that module for more information. AUTHOR
