scpattern = '[0-9][0-9][0-9]\W[0-9][0-9]\W[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
ideally I would like to take the pattern that I have working, but allow
the dash to be anything other can an alpha or numeric.

You could try something like:

scpattern = '[0-9][0-9][0-9][^0-9a-zA-Z][0-9][0-9][^0-9a-zA-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'

Basically [^0-9a-zA-Z] means anything BUT the ranges listed so no
digits or letters.
