doedit help

[Guy Templin]

my edit is N N N <-> N N (length of field is 6)

The edit works in *clerk processing if someone enters a value of 111-18 or
when someone enters 11118 it adds the dash and it will pass the edit.

My problem is I am getting the input from a file created from web input and
I want to be able to have the dash added it they forget to put it in.

I need the value from da if it equals "11118" to be passed on to db as
"111-18"

thanks for your help.
