I suspect that the problem could be that although they look the same, you're entering the unicode character for '-'  (hex value e28093) rather than the ASCII character '-' (hex value 2d).  I was able to test this hypothesis on my machine by entering a "long dash" in Word and then cutting and pasting that into the command you mention.  That's the only way I can think of to get the error you describe.  I hope that helps.

Ed
