Device info removes "-" from iphone Xs serial

Submitted by Vladika on #1

Thank you for this amazing tool, however I have a tiny problem.
I'm using serial that VH returns to find device in database and I'm getting mismatch for Iphone Xs serial number:

./vhclientx86_64 -t "device info,LAPTOP-25NU9GXX.XX" is returning serial without minus sign - (00008020001849920C09XXXX)

Xcode and ideviceinfo show iphone X serial number with minus sign (00008020-001849920C09XXXX)

I'm using VH Client 4.6.7 on Ubuntu, and VH Server 4.2.5 on Windows 10

thank you for looking into it

Plug the phone directly into windows 10 and then download and run this https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html

the find the phone listed on the left and then click on it and look for serial number there in the panel on the right. Does it have a - in it? If it doesnt have a - in it then thats the real serial number and apple is just adding the - in their xcode display after 8 characters
