Strip the left characters and strip the right characters into their own variables using one of the methods that can do that.  Then pass it using something like paste(left, "-", right).

How does one pass a character string containing a hyphen? I have a function
that accesses an api if I hard code the object, for example



key_key <- "xxxx-yyyy" 



it works but when I pass the key  code to the function (say something like
key_code <- code_input)  it returns only xxxx. So R is seeing a string with
a negative operator I'm assuming
