I believe another possibility is that the "dash" wasn't not an ASCII hyphen (0x2D) but a non-ASCII character that looks like a hyphen (extended ASCII 0xC4, Unicode 0x2010), and that the local system's encoding doesn't allow for such characters. -- Rick Genter Principal Software Engineer Silverlink Communications
