Default Replace Comma with Dash

Was something wrong with the answer I gave you (in your first posting) some
48 minutes before you posted this same question over again?

Hello,

Please can someone explain how I can replace commas with a dash/
hyphen. For example cell A1 contains "ABC,DEF,GHI". I would like
cell B1 to display "ABC-DEF-GHI".

I attempted to use REPLACE(A1,FIND(CHAR",",A1),1,",") but this only
replaces the first comma.

I need to cound how many comma's are in the text and then replace
them. I know I could you a find and replace but I need a formula.
The number of commas in the text will vary. Sometimes there are 2
other times there are none.

Thanks,
Brett
