[Solved] Python String unwanted overwrite

Question

Change the 9 to a 10:

if temp2[4] == '-' and temp2[10] != '-':
     temp3 = temp2[:10] + '-' + temp2[10:]

When you call a string its str[from:to], so temp2[:9] is equivalent to temp2[0:9] and it would only return the characters from 0-9 instead of the required 0-10
