Dear Jurgen,

Thank you for your kind reply and for your help.

But here is still the problem: I have 15,000 such entries with dashes. How
can I automatically replace all of them with one command? Doing them
one by one is,  needless to say, going to take a lot of time and I risk to
miss a few. Any suggestions?

Again, many sincere thanks for your help.

Chamanga
