Dashes and commas are the only special characters that OSCARS allows. A dash in between two numbers to represent a continuous range (e.g. 3000-4000). It requires the left number to be less than the second number. Discontinuous ranges can be separated by commas (3000-3250,3500,3750-4000). Its pretty easy to parse, generally we do a couple splits on commas and dashes.
