I tried to split string using "-" as delimiter. But why this doesn't work:

> stringr::str_split("158–170", "-")
[[1]]
[1] "158–170"

> strsplit("158–170", "-")
[[1]]
[1] "158–170"

I expect the output to be vector of two strings "158" and "170".

It looks like the dash you have put in your string is longer than the split one (not sure how that's happened). I have replaced them below , please try:

strsplit("158-170", "-")
