The - is part of the string that is being read from a text file using a lineinput statement.

You're telling it to use "0" as the delimiter, which obviously isn't
correct. If you want to use a 0 for the binary compare, you need to
add the missing commas to get it in the right bucket.  What is the
"-" in there for?
