preventing entering hyphen - on title

[bengalliboy]

I am successfully able to write all the osclass posts to WordPress posts. However there is one problem, if there is a hyphen on the title, when I try to generate a link from osc to wp it does not properly work.
I managed to go to the data backend and update my s_title on the osc table however how do I prevent this for new classifieds or auto convert the title that has the hyphen to a space?
My last solution is to cron a job in the db that will do that but that is the least prefer of choice....
Please some guru help here....
Thanks

Why you simply do not edit function in wordpress?
- you could disable hyphen using jQuery that user will not be able to add it to input
- you could create function, that manage title and when hyphen found, replace it. But not sure if you want to replace it in database or just in listing view
