Rarefraction curve creation errors information, how to fix it?

Hi qiime2 users,
I got an error information like this : "Error: Detected invalid character in: –-i-table, –-p-max-depth, –-m-metadata-file, –-o-visualization
Verify the correct quotes or dashes (ASCII) are being used." when I was running the following processes.

qiime diversity alpha-rarefaction
–-i-table table_filter.qza
--i-phylogeny rooted-tree.qza
–-p-max-depth 19085
–-m-metadata-file sample-metadata-Se-RS.txt
–-o-visualization alpha-rarefaction.qzv

Since the table_filter.qza and rooted-tree.qza works at running the following processes:
qiime diversity core-metrics-phylogenetic
--i-phylogeny rooted-tree.qza
--i-table table_filter.qza
--p-sampling-depth 19085
--m-metadata-file sample-metadata-Se-RS.txt
--output-dir core-metrics-results-Se-RS
So, I don't know why the occuring the errors when running the rarefraction curve creation code.
Could anyone do me a favor?
All the data have been added in the atachment.
sample-metadata-Se-RS.txt (413 Bytes)
rooted-tree.qza (1.0 MB)
table_filter.qza (1.0 MB)

Hello!
Looks like you should replace everywhere –- with --.

Best,

Hi timanix,
Thank you very much. Yes, you are right. It is very confusing that the dash line on Notepad++ is similar.

Best wishes
