Some Nessus files contain a multitude of dashed lists that weren't being properly parsed into bullet lists with the * syntax. This PR resolves this.

input.split("\n").map do |paragraph|
if paragraph =~ /^ - (.*)$/m
'* ' + $1.gsub(/ /, '').gsub(/\n/, ' ')
elsif paragraph =~ /^- (.*)$/m

We could use a single regex for both cases 🤔, checking for an optional white space

May be with (^ *- (.*)$/m (http://rubular.com/r/iwSdcsGiPh)
Or we want to check only for exactly 0 or 2 whitespace cases?

That's a much more elegant solution! Also, I bookmarked rubular to use in the future as I am not great at regex. Thank you!
