No can do. There has to be a separator, or there would be no way
to determine the option from the part number.

In other words, how do you know whether it is:

   a 200ws with no options
   a 200w with an s option
   a 20 with a 0,w, and s option

etc. etc.

If you want to create such a thing for your order desk, just do
this on the order report form:

   [filter op=word][item-code][/filter]

That will make 200ws out of 200-w-s.

I highly recommend you don't do this, though. 8-)
