[MS_AccessPros] string functions

 

I use a series of string functions (see below) to change the look of a column of data from this " 1234567-8" to this "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8"

 

Left([PrtNum],1)+"-" & Mid([PrtNum],2,1)+"-" & Mid([PrtNum],3,1)+"-" & Mid([PrtNum],4,1)+"-" & Mid([PrtNum],5,1)+"-" & Mid([PrtNum],6,1)+"-" & Right([PrtNum],1) & Right([PrtNum],2)

 

It works so far. What if the number of digits of the rows are not the same? e.g.  some rows are 8 digits, some are 5, 6 or 7.  What is the better or smart way to solve this problem?

 

Thank you
