I had a string called regions\_of\_interest which holds the following value "California - San Diego,New Zealand - Auckland,Asia - Hong Kong"

I want to split this string multiple times, First with the comma(,) and then with the dash(-)  
such as :  
`"regions_of_interest" => [[0] California [0] San Diego, [1] New Zealand [0] Auckland`

How can we split in logstash?
