    Not sure which version of sql you are running.

    but in SQL Server you can use CHARINDEX or in sql 2012 FINDSTRING

    e.g 

    WHERE CHARINDEX('-', Col1) > 0

    EDIT:

    You can also use PATINDEX which returns the position of string for a pattern.

    so maybe:

    WHERE PATINDEX('%-', Col1) <= 3
