This seems much more complicated than it need be. Why search for the "-"
when you can immediately split the string at its location and throw away the
part you don't need?

Because split does just that: searches for a pattern. And then allocate
an array. And then populate each member of the array with a copy of the
slice between the separator.

It just bothers me to use Split to do that. Just as IsNumeric: it works
by converting the string to Double, what seems a terrible waste of
processing, to me.

The code seems too much effort but it also seems efficient, to me.
YMMV.
