Input Format Specification

In regular expression form the input is the following:

^((\d|\*\d+\*)-?)*$

For a given page, the number of panels is represented either by a single digit if the count of panels is fewer than 10. When the count of panels is greater than or equal to 9, the count is sandwiched between a pair of asterisks.

The panel count can be optionally followed by a hyphen. This signifies that the panels span two pages.
