How to include "-" in between a field value?

I have a field lastrundate which has values 20190623 , 20190624 , 20190626.
I want to include an "-" in between them to make the value look like 2019-06-23 ,2019-06-24 ,2019-06-26.

I read the sed command does something similar.
Any inputs?

Thanks in Advance

Hi vrmandadi,
these values seems to be dates so you can use the date transforming functions, something like this:

| eval lastrundate=strftime(strptime(lastrundate,"%Y%m%d"),"%Y-%m-%d")

Bye.
