That really depends on what types of dashes you're working with. Some of these might superficially look the same:
- − ― – —
but they actually consist of a:
• hyphen
• minus sign
• horizontal bar
• en-dash
• em-dash
To cater for all these possibilities you could use a wildcard Find, where:
Find = ^t[\-\−\―\–\—]{3}
